Over the same period of time one year prior, the accident rate was roughly 100 times higher. With no state lockdown order in place. Because people simply weren't on the road.
The idea that there are hundreds of people still out there operating fairly normally and therefore it means that nothing we're doing has a measurable impact is just folly.
If a plan requires 100% compliance - scrap that plan. That's a bad plan. If Andy Reid calls a game that requires everyone on the field to execute perfectly 100% of the time in order to win - that's a bad coach.
The amount of buy in we've seen in this country is pretty spectacular. But just as people know full well that smoking, drinking and driving, not wearing a seatbelt and a whole slew of other things are dangerous to themselves and others but do it anyway - people are going to defy these orders. It's going to happen.
So again, if the fundamental premise of your plan is that 350 million people are suddenly going to be come wholly obedient stewards of the public good - Jesus, that is an AWFUL plan. Get a new one.

Yeah it is a sucky plan but it is the only one we got left until reinforcements arrive (therapeutics and vaccine)
What's your plan when we are down 17-0 in the 4th with Alex Smith as your QB (and no Mahomes on the bench)?
