Despite being from the american enterprise institute, I think this is the basis of the only sane thing to do. In broad strokes it's what I've seen as the only thing to do for the last several weeks: this is what "flattening the curve" gives us time to line up.
I'd like to also see:
- wide and free distribution of NPI in the civilian population. At this point i think masking everyone up is sensible.
- efficacy data for blood serum transfusions. If that can help provide some immunity in critical populations like delivery people, grocery and pharmacy staff, emergency responders and hospital staff: friggin' great. Keep people we actually need alive and working and remove them from the vector pool temporarily. We're underway with frontline trials with this as of last weekend in NYC.
- maybe theraputics to reduce the duration of the disease, if we get lucky. This is the choloroquine/favapadir/... fight that we seem to enjoy having.
Do that, and optimistically we can wind up to about 80% normal by fall. We'll get the 20% rest back over the next several years it takes to crank out a vaccine.
