re: OT: Alabama Coronavirus Thread (see link in OP for case numbers and death totals in AL)

I read a really compelling proposal earlier today, and unfortunately I forget wheee I read so I can’t credit the person. He said we need to stop testing people with symptoms, and just assume they have it. Then quarantine the ones healthy enough, hospitalize the ones that aren’t. Then phase in sectors of the economy to open, but test employees rigorously before allowing them to work. Those that test negative, can work, those that test positive go into quarantine. Seems like if we have enough tests, that might work as it would remove asymptomatic folks for a time while allowing those that are healthy back into the world.

I don’t know, I may have smoked myself stopped again, but it made mire sense than what we are doing now.
