I would throw my support behind literally any candidate that laid out any of these things clearly. Any candidate at any level. Because not one of them, nationally, at the state level, or locally, are even attempting this. It's like they're just hoping a month long lock-down will cure the problem. Poof, magic.

I 100% agree with this. The lock down for my state has been in effect for a while now. And it seems like not one thing has changed, except for the rhetoric is becoming more and more wishful, instead of hopeful. There seems to be zero plan about how to come out of this without another massive spike in cases.
No talk of testing. No talk of what services will open with priority. No talk of anything but 'stay home'. That's well and good (and I do love it), but what about next month?
What happens when we have done nothing and have another spike in cases because we wished ourselves into doing nothing?
