Why prohibit all services just because we cannot accomodate everyone?

How do we know when covid-19 entered the US? How do we know the R0? R0 is continually being estimated upward and death rate downward. We don't seem to have much clarity on any of this. Another problem is if covid-19 was already wides

Will differential programming be able to solve the halting problem?
