That is the "non pharmaceutical" plan. Once a vaccine is in place and a certain percentage are vaccinated things will start going back to normal and any subsequent deaths will clearly be seasonal flu related........

Option 2: Do some quarantining and social distancing to flatten the curve, and maybe a million Americans die. Option 3: Shut down everything to stop the spread. Keep everything shut down for ~18 months until everyone is vaccinated. It looks like we are headed for Option 3 right now. With any luck, we might develop some effective treatments for the virus that would lessen the death toll of switching to Option 2. Also, they have developed an antibody test now, and anyone who tests positive for the antibodies will be safe from the virus, and unable to spread it to others, so at least those people will be able to go back to work.

We can't keep everybody at home forever and we can't stop all international trade and travel so sooner or later the virus has to run it's course, or so it seems to me. I know we're trying to slow down the spread so we don't overwhelm the hospital capacity and that's great. Are we going to somehow reduce social isolation over time in a controlled way, or will social isolation end organically as people get sick of staying home?

Yesterdays counts of those tested were running around 8 percent positive. This does NOT equate to 8 percent of the population. The "administration bad, nobody can just go get a test for curiousity" argument further strengthens this as a promising number. The ONLY people being tested for the most part, are those in the very high probability category. So of those assumed to be infected, only 8 percent of them actually are. We still havent hit globally the number of infections and deaths from the swine flu in the US alone. let me reiterate this GLOBALLY TODAY, there are less sick and dead, than from swine flu in the US ALONE. The current response is such that has never been seen in the history of the planet. Inmates are an issue, with a guard and an inmate at rikers island infected now, we have a national issue. if we dump the prisons, not only do we have a ton of criminals on the street, we have hundreds of thousands of indigent on the streets in the middle of a pandemic. (maybe not having locked up such a percentage of the population in the first place is a whole other OT rant). Iran dumped 70k inmates on the streets, i cant imagine that having helped their situation. Morons on spring break making a point of interacting even more than they normally would have is illogical enough to eliminate any logic.

They also have much tighter border controls than most of the world, and they're going on lockdown earlier into the outbreak than most countries did... so it's not unbelievable that they'd have low numbers at this point. But who knows what's really going on in some of these countries... it certainly wouldn't surprise me if China is lying about their numbers, it all depends on what they think is in their best interests at this point, and I don't trust any information from or about North Korea, no matter what the source is, but the high level of government control over everything in North Korea could certainly give them an advantage in this situation.
