> But it can be held down to a manageable level. So I think the word manageable is doing a lot of work here. Specifically, manageable to the hospitals, which is what I believe most people mean when they say this, does not do anything to manage consumer confidence. Which my entire question is about. How do I, as an individual consumer, feel confident enough in the systems set up to go back to some semblance of normal? Learning that my chance of getting infected from going to the grocery store has dropped from 20%? to... 5%? 1%? Whatever the risk is, it needs to be multiplied by the average number of places a normal consumer went to over a week before this outbreak. Which means that I'm still gonna get it eventually, just I might not block somebody else from getting a hospital bed. Which is obviously better than nothing! But I really think people are missing the human aspect of precisely what this entails. Consider user stories. As a single mother do you still feel confident going out to get groceries knowing there's an n% chance of getting it and bringing it home to your kids? If you die there's no one else to look after them.
