When new infections are down to a "relative" few, and we have adequate testing, contact tracking and isolation/quarantine capacity to isolate hot spots to quickly quell new infections, we can resume most activities. Probably 4 to 6 weeks? Still no sports, no concerts, or other large gatherings. See how it goes. If the cases start spiking again, we may have to go through cycles of lockdown (the sooner you start, the shorter it will be) until we have a vaccine.

I tend to agree. I think we can also agree that regardless of what decision is made and when, it will be 2nd and 3rd guessed by several people for several reasons.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease specialist, says the US does not have the coronavirus under control, “to say we have it under control, Margaret, would be a false statement. We are struggling to get it under control.”
Fauci warned Americans in an interview on CBS with Margaret Brennan, that “it is going to be a bad week” ahead as there is an escalation in cases, but that “within a week or a little bit more” we should see the curve begin to flatten. |

I know this is an anxious time, but the worst thing you can be right now is impatient. If I have a patient getting antibiotics for sepsis, I don't stop the antibiotics whenever their CRP and lactate levels start to drop. All I'm going to do in that case is cause a rebound infection and make things worse, because the therapies I previously used may not as be as effective and the patient will clinically worsen.
We don't just need to get to the peak: we need to get past the peak and then down the slope on the other side so as to avoid another peak that is as bad or worse than the first. |

Deaths will be going up for at least a couple of weeks yet. We're not going to open up the economy with 1000 people a day dying from this. The average person just won't buy into thinking it is a good idea.

And just FTR, I am not saying Dr. Fauci is wrong. I am saying he is human and has been wrong about this virus before. So we do need to listen to him but he isn't necessarily right by default either.
