Getting the R-naught to below 1 absent mass preparedness on an airborne virus seems impossible to me without triggering some kind of mass starvation, looting, and your run of the mill zombie apocalypse type behavior.

This means as people who are prepared are doing the "right thing" sheltering in place and social distancing. Those without food will be pillaging the grocery shelves, and it's doubtful all the looters will die. So when it's time to come out from the shelter, who knows what surfaces and or who is still infected.

I think this plan that Fauci is talking about, with regards to lowering the curve, is unrealistic. Meaning, I believe that they already know, this won't be as big a deal for America as it was in Iran, Italy, and China and that can be because it's a bio-weapon. Or it will, and they're just throwing us a bone to distract us with a sense of hope and self-empowerment, while they go and fly off to their various bunkers.

If this is a warfare situation, there is no telling when or if it escalates to nuclear warfare. If it's a bioattack served up by our government, as horrifying a prospect that is, I'm hopeful that they already pre-inoculated us to its effects via the water supply. That last one is probably wishful or magical thinking on my part.

I think Americans as a whole are probably less vulnerable a target, and the shut down might be just short enough to pretend like they did something while also not causing too much pillaging and plundering so that everything gets destroyed by people acting like angry locusts.

Yet at the same time, if they are going to induce financial armageddon right before it's set to happen, that in and of itself can be just as lengthy and destructive, perhaps worse than the bioweapon. Very interesting information though, I do hope there is a legit fix waiting in the wings.
