This post resonated with me the most so far. I think we are in a fine balance at this point in the US especially, trying to figure out what is the acceptable level of cases. If our health systems are not at risk of being overrun in a particular area than the need for very strict lockdown is not warranted given the other negative consequences of such a lockdown. However, if we think to a future pandemic, a goal of no community spread, aka Zero cases, even in the US, may be be a reasonable goal to build scenarios around. But also seems prudent to have a plan in place assuming we can’t prevent community spread because not all states will adhere to federal guidelines.
