> Protecting the general public by ensuring any successful lifting of interventions includes the development of a system for testing, tracking and isolating. The states will work together to share best practices.
If there is a reasonable expectation of that happening in the next couple of weeks, then ok. If this is just "hope", then we should end the lockdown and let the flu run its course, like every year.
The overall mortality rate is about 2%, which may be unavoidable in the US even with social distancing, since I don't see any way for the US to emulate S. Korea's testing and tracing success.
Does anybody have any logical reason for thinking that the US can copy S. Korea?
Does the US have any way to do up to 600 million tests per week and see the result in an hour?
