Time to repurpose and reallocate

Efforts to produce more ventilators or PPE are obviously necessary, but to move us forward, some of us are willing to invest time, effort or money in what might get us out of the current situation.

3 ways out of this

  • We find a good enough vaccine to get virility rate < 1
  • We create a very good treatment so people aren't afraid and can live their lives as before
  • We implement a strong culture of testing and isolation (like China). i.e. ubiquitous and fast testing is made available.

There is no convincing 4th way out of this.

And no, there is nothing genius about the conclusions above, a bunch of smart folks have been repeating the same for some time.
