This is the kind of advice that Smart People like because it sounds Smart but is actually useless.
‘Get the virus under control’. Just do that. ‘Get’ it under control. That’s what The Government should just, like, do.
Is that possible? Doesn’t that matter? Not to Smart People. https://twitter.com/bachmannrudi/status/1310230792648392714

Every Smart Person nods their head at ‘get the virus under control first’. Especially financebros. They’ve thought about it deeply and all of them know that everything else depends on ‘getting’ the virus under control. True! QED. So just decide to do that, and then do it.
Is ‘getting the virus under control’ an action, that you can say, with words?
Yes.
Therefore, the government Can Do It.
How could there be an action relatable using words that The Government couldn’t simply decide to do and then do? That’s like saying the government isn’t God
Yes.

Every Smart Person treats this issue as if they are back taking a class and the exam question is What should the government do first?
A. Allow things to open
B. Get the virus under control
C. Other (explain)
OBVIOUSLY, the answer is B. Good answer, Smart Person! Gold star 4 u

BTW what does ‘under control’ even mean? How isn’t it under control now? There’s new positive infections daily, and new deaths recorded daily, but they aren’t blowing-up or anything. Maybe that’s just the baseline rate. Does ‘under control’ mean ‘eradicate’?
Either ‘under control’ means ‘eradicate’ or it doesn’t.
If it doesn’t, explain why it’s not under control, what your thresholds are.
If it does, explain why you think that’s possible.
If it doesn’t, explain why it’s not under control, what your thresholds are.

Of course here’s where Smart People do a motte-and-bailey. ‘C’mon no one’s saying we need to send the case count to 0’
But in practice they act as if any positive case count at all is cause to prolong the ‘emergency’, keep stuff shut, etc. ‘don’t you know there’s a pandemic??’

When are we not going to be ‘in a global pandemic’?
The only honest answer I can infer from the policy preferences of the Lockdown Cult: when there are zero positive infections of this virus anywhere in the world.
That’s how they act. So that’s the answer.
(Which = never.)
