The only people losing civil liberties are the people that die after contracting the virus because we failed to social distance for the necessary amount of time.
The "performance metric" you're looking for is the number of tests we conduct. Unless we're testing hundreds of thousands every day, we have no choice but to continue to shelter in place or stay at home. We are not even close to the amount of testing we need to know who does and doesn't have the virus.
- CPLX 6y agoOK I'll take your bait. What if we have enough tests, then what's the rule?
- primeradical 6y agoWhen you have enough tests, you know who has the virus and who doesn't. All those infected (and all the people they've contacted) can quarantine or seek the care they need, and those who aren't infected can all go get haircuts.
- CPLX 6y agoSo the shelter in place order should be in effect until we have conducted approximately seven million tests, after which we will institute a voluntary program where people who test positive are asked to quarantine and seek care?
