Mixed messages scare people at a deep subliminal level.
As Chris Martenson has argued, there are three major issues that need to be addressed in a pandemic—the economy is one of the three.
That is a correct focus.
The second is the rate of spread of disease. The approach here is half-measures imho. Quarantines are the only proven method to contain the disease. (It looks like GA has figured it out—they are the only ones.)
The third is keeping the health care system functional. That has not been addressed at all.
_All_ should be addressed simultaneously, with no one getting a higher priority than the other two imho.
