Thanks for sharing this. The first slide throws two pretty big hurdles to reopening - testing and contact tracing. While Google and Amazon are working on contact tracing, it's not clear when it'll be widely implemented or when tests will become prevalent. If the stay-at-home order is conditioned on the implementation of those two indicators, then we may be waiting for a while.

Contact tracing requires shoe leather not tech.

  Either works. South Korea applied tech pretty effectively.

    Neither works as well as bother together. There are lots of places I go without my phone. There are lots of places I wouldn't report going, but the phone data would say otherwise.

    They applied the combination of shoe leather and tech effectively. I think tech on its own without a robust public health infrastructure would be pretty ineffective, but the latter on its own could do well. https://khn.org/news/how-do-we-exit-the-shutdown-hire-an-army-of-public-health-workers/ https://khn.org/news/how-do-we-exit-the-shutdown-hire-an-arm...

      I totally agree that only the combo works. But my concern is that we don't have the cohesive, political and business structure to pull off something like that.

        I hope you remember next November that competence matters.
