IMHO, the fruit is not ripe for picking. At least not in the US. Too soon for alarmist rhetoric.

I am not someone who feels that no matter what officials do, the outcome will be the same because it's somehow inevitable. I do not think we are powerless against the coronavirus spread.

We are halfway into the US 15-day push to control the outbreak. Especially strong lockdown orders are in place for several hotspots. Additional resources will be deployed to them. Remember we can flatten the infection curve while at the same time bend the medical capacity line upward.

Let’s keep our collective spirits up - the negative future events predicted by fatalists may not occur as anticipated.

Give this another week to see if it budges like a bracelet’s balky screw in a removable link.

You know, apply heat and a bit more effort...
