My “easing in” intent would be very defined - open up restaurants and retail stores, no ball games, for 3-4 weeks, then take a look at the data and decide if it’d be appropriate to begin larger gatherings.
My issue is that there’s still variables we don’t know and the only example of letting everything be ‘normal’ (ignoring the problem entirely) is Wuhan. So having a couple of defined steps is prudent imo. We’ve all gone through this pain and there’s a real possibility of wasting it. So let’s put one foot in to test the water before just diving in.
Apologies if I sounded accusatory. My snarfy remark was not directed at you. It was directed at “Dr.” Fauci and his goal of guaranteed safety. I would much rather have somebody like you on the Task Force than that guy.
