A) Our goals have to align with the strengths and weaknesses of each type of mitigation. This isn’t about constant mitigation all the time. This is about the right mitigation at the right time. We can form safe zones, where we can drop defenses and enjoy life in *safety
B) we need to pause as much as possible and do a national 14-day supported hold. Test. Hopefully we even have room to quarantine the infected. Then we resume a more deliberate, “zero-fake safe”, way to resume our business and pleasure #zerofakesafe
C) quarantine periods should precede cross household gatherings, businesses who must meet in person should form institutional quarantines, with subsidized delivery of resources to workers, work quarantine requirements, and daily testing, hope this works
D) improved HVAC ventilation and filtration, to meet capacity of occupancy, must be implemented prior to resumption of casual group activity, and monitored for performance. Schools and healthcare should be subsidized and must start now
E) masking options need to improve in quality, fit, appearance, availability, and need to be subsidized, and recyclable. Masking will be the norm for a while, making it friendly, expressive, and effective
F) new cases need resources to quarantine. We need a 30 day Q, but are too immature and will have to settle for 14. Our testing and quarantine has turned into a joke because our cases are so bad, we’re going to default into lockdown by protocol
G) we cannot live with this virus. We are looking at the most contagious virus modern medicine has seen, it caries long term cognitive consequences, we need to respect it, and respect each other enough, to not let this destroy a generation
H) the “disinformation” problem is that its been coming from CDC, Times, WSJ, CNN, FOX, the blue check crew, the 5th-dose squad, Pharma and The Street convincing ownership class they’re in the “know”, but they’re actually asleep, anesthetized by the spin and the mirage goalposts

Picture a classroom, 24 desks full, a teacher at the head. The windows open 3 inches, but it’s cold out, so they stay closed. The classroom door is open to the hallway, where the kids were just at their lockers, taking “mask breaks” (1)
These 24 children, who have no say in pandemic policy, and 1 teacher (also with no sway) will be sitting in this room for 45 minutes. Children are up to 70% asymptomatic spreaders, so we can’t know whose infected, our testing isn’t sophisticated enough yet to help (2)
Disease spread is worse for singing > talking > breathing. So if this class sat in silence they’d have reduced transmission, they’d have a chance. But this defeats the “socialization” purpose. A “good” class is an engaged, active class: the most dangerous type of class (3)
