Trump's team seems like they're following the Imperial College report. Unless we develop a super-effective drug for symptom suppression in the meantime, we'll likely adopt the report's recommendation of isolating until a vaccine is available, with 2-3 week breaks from the lockdown throughout.
I hope I'm wrong and that this will be over sooner than that, but the available models we have are not looking too great for us. Another option, which Trump seems to be doing a bit w/ ventilator production, is ramping up the medical sector to be able to handle tons of active cases at once. Then the lockdowns can be much more spread out and last less time.

Too bad the tariffs weren’t enough to bring back a lot of critical supply production in time for this.
If globalism has to take a shot to the chest, I’m forever grateful for Trump at the helm during the crisis.
