That article was full of equivocations and misdirection, with CDC Director Nancy Messonnier wriggling out of any leadership on establishing federal guidelines for containment and mitigation and hapless (?) Dr. Peter Beilenson, head of Sacramento County's Department of Health Services, rhetorically throwing up his arms and embracing mitigation because Sacramento County failed to track infections. All the while, the author of the piece is clearly trying to convince the reader that mitigation (which in Sacramento County means “self-quarantine only in cases showing symptoms”) is adequate if not superior to containment.
