This is my biggest complaint. The press briefings and the media have been worthless for trying to figure this out. I want to now the exact plan and I realize it will need to adapt over time but that should be explained by the plan. All the White House wants to talk about is the economy. I just want to know, are we going to wait for everyone to get vaccinated or tested for antibodies? How is the progress on those things? I don't care if some idiot who's not a doctor thinks some malaria drugs might help because he stands to benefit from that.
Or is our goal to fully go to 0 new cases and just hope it doesn't pop up again. That seems unlikely since I don't know how that's possible without a complete lockdown for at least two weeks. Also, is there any possibility that this just goes away on its own?
Saying we're opening things up just because of the economy seems completely moronic to me. I want to know what the actual plan is. Everything seems just arbitrary right now.

There's a real trial (University of Minnesota) trying to determine if HCQ works or not as post-exposure prophylaxis. Sadly, it only needs 150ish more people but it's struggling to get them (at least according to its PI).
