Theoretically, if we can keep everyone from getting it while in isolation there will not be any when we emerge. It’s not like Anthrax spores that can be active after decades. (Which reminds me, I was vaccinated for Anthrax.). Of course that is ridiculously impossible. And of course, you are correct. The entire game starts over. But at the levels it was a month ago. If we can “let it simmer” after that, the health care system won’t be over run, it can be managed at low levels. People will have to continue measures for months or years. Masks. Can we do masks tomorrow and drop Plaquenil?

Yes, but problem is we can’t- that’s why it will still be out there when folks get out-
[[the health care system won’t be over run,]]
That certainly is the positive case for sheltering-
This should be a top priority.
