Yeah, I'm assuming this is here to stay. The goal has to be to keep the "curve" flat enough that we maximize the ability for those that need medical attention to get it. Beyond that I think there isn't much that can be done. Hopefully doctors pull off a vaccine quickly, and with luck, the virus doesn't mutate quickly enough that a vaccine isn't effective. We're getting a taste of what life was like before Penicillin, and what life is like in a lot of poorer countries.

I read this thing today, which seems to be an economic argument strongly in favor of maintaining social distancing measures. Perhaps it will make sense to the powers that be - https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....act_id=3561560
