All of that is fine—but this virus spreads very easily and we are not going to be hermits for weeks at a time.

The public health measures will ultimately be far more important on outcomes for the public than individual precautions.

Masks are not available, adequate testing is not available, so imho severe quarantine procedures are the only options we have left.

Masks are useless if someone sneezes or coughs near you.
Because the virus is far smaller than openings in most mask materials.

I would begin with INDIVIDUAL responsibility FIRST, and what could help is massive education program by the government via TV Ads

What exactly you mean by “The public health measures will ultimately be far more important”?

You want forced quarantines? Where is the manpower or money to monitor and quarantine 330 million people?
