One thing I think is becoming clear: many people agreed about shutting down as an initial step, but they may also have had very different ideas about what happened after that.

Here's a list of some of the different "plans"/rationales/expectations that I've heard.
Some of these are mutually exclusive and some aren't. Some are relatively coherent strategies while others are ad-hoc (at best). Some of them people talked about explicitly and some less so.

But the point is, there are a lot of forking paths from the same initial set of actions.
And if there's not consensus around at most a couple of these strategies, one wonders what happens.

If you have 30% of people supporting "hard" shutdowns, 30% of people supporting "soft" showdowns, and 40% of people supporting ending shutdowns...I don't know how that plays out.
