There is a lot at play. We don't have enough of a testing apparatus and our hospital resources are stretched to the thinnest of levels in the hot spots. We also know that we're not all crossing this minefield at the same time. Some areas just started locking down--other areas are still flouting a lot of restrictions.
This is a dynamic event with a multi-week lag and we have to understand our limitations before rushing headlong into a desired endgame.
We also have to appreciate that things change. It may take a few years before things are truly back to the way they were, and even then, it's going to have a profound impact on our personal and national psyche. I think we can all agree that we wish that wasn't the case, but it doesn't change the reality of what we need to do from here on.
This will change the way we live, and as much as we want to wash it away or ignore it, we can't, lest we end up in a far worse situation, both economically and in public health.
