I foreseee a bull market in fake immunity certificates. How about a scarlet W? Or a yellow armband with a yellow Star of .... Nah.
Journolist’s Ezra Klein:
10 Apr: Vox: Ive read the plans to reopen the economy. Theyre scary.
There is no plan to return to normal.
By Ezra Klein
Over the past few days, Ive been reading the major plans for what comes after social distancing. You can read them, too. Theres one from the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute, the left-leaning Center for American Progress, Harvard Universitys Safra Center for Ethics, and Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Romer...
In different ways, all these plans say the same thing: Even if you can imagine the herculean political, social, and economic changes necessary to manage our way through this crisis effectively, there is no normal for the foreseeable future. Until theres a vaccine, the US either needs economically ruinous levels of social distancing, a digital surveillance state of shocking size and scope, or a mass testing apparatus of even more shocking size and intrusiveness.
The AEI, CAP, and Harvard plans arent identical, but theyre similar. All of them feature a period of national lockdown in which extreme social distancing is deployed to flatten the curve and health and testing capacity is surged to raise the line. Thats phase one. Phase two triggers after a set period (45 days for CAP, three months for Harvard) or, in the AEI plan, after 14 days of falling cases and a series of health supply markers...
The CAP and Harvard plans both foresee a digital pandemic surveillance state in which virtually every American downloads an app to their phone that geotracks their movements, so if they come into contact with anyone who later is found to have Covid-19, they can be alerted and a period of social quarantine can begin...
While similar efforts have borne fruit in Singapore and South Korea, the US is a very different country, with a more mistrustful, individualistic culture...
The alternative to mass surveillance is mass testing. Romers proposal is to deploy testing on a scale no one else is contemplating 22 million tests per day so that the entire country is being tested every 14 days, and anyone who tests positive can be quickly quarantined...Of the various plans, this one seems likeliest to permit a true and rapid economic recovery...
As of now, the White House has neither chosen nor begun executing on a plan of its own. Thats a terrible abdication of leadership, but reading through the various proposals, you can see why its happened. Imagine youre the president of the United States in an election year. Which of these futures, with all its costs and risks and pain, would you want to try and sell to the American people?...

the progressives have all the bases covered!
Among the WikiLeaks HRC email files there are letters from Dr Fauci to Hillary Clinton through her aid/lawyer Cheryl Mills:
rarely does a speech bring me to tears?
please tell her I love her more than ever?
please tell her that we all love her
Please tell her that we all love her and are very proud to know her.
Just go down to where the illegals get their drivers licenses and SS cards. Im sure they will figure out how to print up an immunity card just a few hours after the first ones are issued.
To address those problems the certificates of immunity will be on a microchip inserted under the skin of your left hand.
A logistical impossibility. This man is a fool who needs to be fired NOW.
