We can always back off from this if the numbers show it is warranted. Personally, I haven't seen where the successful treatment we believe we have in the malaria pill and z pack have been factored in. That really would be a game changer. We have heard about a number of good results and now we have 1100 more being tested. Should hear something about them in 3 or 4 days. If they work, then it's a matter of how long will it take to supply everyone with them. Be like Italy which has just decided to start giving it to people before they have symptoms.
It really would be a shame if we jumped the gun on this and then found out we were wrong and got a whole bunch more people killed because we could not supply what they need for treatment.
A bright side to me is that people like to claim that President Trump doesn't listen to anyone. That he just bulls ahead and does whatever he wants to. I have thought that the secret to his success is to get good people together and come up with plans based upon the brightest ideas. The Doctors have spoken. This is what could happen if you just ignore us. You could get a lot of people killed.
Let the god damn Fake News be the ones that condemn him for trying to save people over trying to force the economy back into production. I'm not going to.
I agree. Its better to be safe than sorry with all of this. Imagine if we start seeing a sudden significant reduction and we open earlier...It'll be Huge. Cautious Optimism.
