MAKE A NEW PLAN STAN

Mar 24, 2020 Nouriel Roubini

But the best-case scenario assumes several conditions. 

First, the US, Europe, and other heavily affected economies..

would need to roll out widespread COVID-19 testing, tracing, and treatment measures, 

enforced quarantines, and a full-scale lockdown of the type that China has implemented..

 And, because it could take 18 months for a vaccine to be developed..

and produced at scale, antivirals and other therapeutics..

will need to be deployed on a massive scale. 

the palookas are..

gettin restless..

they seen alla movies..

an they..

miss their buddies..

they ain't enuff dead palookas..

in they area..

WHAT, ME WORRY?

palookaville is a big place..

an some folks..

others..

not so much..

they want luckdown..

ta end..


HEY HEY RONA

they want to go back to work..

an travel, an visit, an hang out..

they think that..

rhona..

is for the birds..

and not for them..

evidence is emerging that..

they may not be onside..


I say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Rona..

Oh, Rona..

I tell you Rona what I wanna do..

I'll build a house next door to you..

Can I see you sometimes?

We can blow kisses through the blinds..

Yeah can I out come out on the front..

And listen to my heart go bumpety bump..

I need you baby that's no lie..

Without your love I'd surely die..

I say hey, Rona..

THE VERY THING THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY WILL MAKE THEM DEAD

yes..

in palookaville..

they have a name for this..

herd immunity..

steve chao - 

 Stop blaming others..

We are where we are because Trump GOP gospel is let old sick people die..

It didn't start with this pandemic..

Plenty of Republican politicians publicly stated old people are burden to society..

should go..

Washington made no preparations, no mask, no ventilator..

because they wanted to cull the herd...

Boris Johnson accidentally gave out the secret..

herd immunity he calls it..

Trump panicked after he saw bodies pile up..

Fearing political consequence he changed tone..

But not really, his policy is still herd immunity..

Witness his push to open up/ease quarantines even while we have 28,000 new cases a day.

 many want ta..

git back onna trail..

Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen..

Keep them dogies rollin'
Rawhide!

Through rain and wind and weather..

Hell-bent for leather..

Wishin' my gal was by my side..

All the things I'm missin'
Good vittles, love, and kissin'..

Are waiting at the end of my ride.

CHORUS

Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up

Rawhide

Cut 'em out, ride 'em in..

Ride 'em in, let 'em out.

Cut 'em out, ride 'em in..

Rawhide!

Keep movin', movin', movin'

Though they're disapprovin'

Keep them dogies movin'

Rawhide!

Don't try to understand 'em..

Just rope, and throw, and brand 'em..

Soon we'll be living high and wide..

My heart’s calculatin'

My true love will be waitin'

Be waiting at the end of my ride.

CHORUS

Rawhide!

 SOME ONE ALWAYS HAS A PLAN

but it may not be..

the one we will like..

or the one that will..

make us all better..

or..

keep us all safe


ALLSAFE


Firstly, if you get on top of it really early, you can get it under control.

"It is relatively easy to tackle clusters, to contact trace and isolate,"

says Professor Kenji Shibuya of King's College London.

"The authorities were quite successful in their cluster control approach.

Japan was in the very early phase of the outbreak back then.

It was localised and it was a success story."


"The major lesson to take from Hokkaido is that even if you are successful..

in the containment the first time around..

it's difficult to isolate and maintain the containment for a long period..

Unless you expand the testing capacity..

it's difficult to identify community transmission and hospital transmission."

The long road ahead

The third lesson is..

that this "new reality" is going to go on a lot longer than most people expect.

Hokkaido has now had to re-impose the restrictions..

though Japan's version of a Covid-19 "lockdown"..

is a rather softer than those imposed elsewhere.

Most people are still going to work..

Schools may be closed, but shops and even bars remain open.

Prof Shibuya thinks without tougher measures..

Japan has little hope of controlling..

this so called "second wave" of infections now taking place..

not just in Hokkaido, but across the country.

"The key lesson" he says..

"is even if you are successful in containment locally..

but there is transmission going on in other parts of the country..

as long as people are moving around..

it's difficult to maintain a virus-free status".

Even so, the economy in Hokkaido is already hurting badly.

The island is hugely dependent on tourism..

and Japan has banned travel from the US and Europe and most countries in Asia.
