We can deal with a few hundred thousand old fat black folks with asthma and high blood pressure dying this year as opposed to 1-5 years down the line.

just get past peak and flatten the curve of each state, make sure lots of PPE and Vents are stockpiled

hire as many people to help with innovative and aggressive testing strategies and antibody testing
increase hiring in various essential service sectors to have extra back up when people get sick... Fire dept, EMS, ect.

make non essential workers going back to work. Do an online class/tutorial on how to do amateur contact tracing reporting

we are going to be in public in a weird new way for about 12 months but it will become second nature soon enough
