Also very hard to argue with this. States and WH need to provide clarity for the end of the lockdowns. Will there be one standard? Will states be allowed to go on their own? Will the metric be hospitalizations, new cases, declines in either/both, something else? https://twitter.com/JAG_Norm/status/1246983050245767169
Will the goal be phased/partial reopenings (workplaces first, then retail, then hospitality?) - or everything at once? Will schools open early or late? Will masks be required? Will hospitals and nursing have special protections?
These are the conversations we should be having NOW, and publicly - they would improve public and business confidence and contribute to the sense that we are thinking about more than the next day's death counts.
Otherwise, some states with low hospitalization counts (and presumably GOP governors) may just jump ahead, leading to another round of Team Apocalypse baying that the end is nigh - which will help no one.
