Governors are just locking people in their homes and shuffling off blame. None of them think probabilistically or listen to anyone that does. We are looking at an economic collapse that rivals late 80's Japan. People are viewing the "economy" as money. They need to rethink their smugness. Japanese salarymen work harder and longer hours than any American yet their salaries and purchasing power are half that of equivalent positions in America. The Nikkei has still not recovered from the crash 30 years ago. That is our future if we just keep staying locked in houses. Also this "remote work" revolution people are cheering on should be rethought pretty damn fast. If this truly is the new normal, people are not going to hire Americans for $25/hr with benefits if we never meet them. Managers will just hire Indonesians for $4/hr since it's all the same to them. At some point we need to let businesses reopen and ues temperature tracking + mandatory face occlusion. This isn't perfect, or even that good, but widespread testing won't happen anytime soon (it's not cheap and our government agencies are completely incompetent at large project design), so we just need to accept some risk. But since no one thinks in a probabilistic way - since we are afraid to - it's gonna be shelter in place for a few months while the governors just cover their asses instead of actually searching for an 80% good solution, and blame Trump for not figuring it out either. There is no leadership in our government, you are right. State, federal, local. Embarrassing.
