In all seriousness, the distancing works, it worked in Wuhan and it will work here.p.

A number of academic papers suggest that actually distancing will likely not be sufficient and may even hurt things in the fall if SARS-Cov2 is at all seasonal. I know that is not what the talking heads say, but that is what the serious modeling says.

While the rate of exponential growth of confirmed cases has halved, starting around March 25, it remains unclear exactly what that is due to. In any case, that amounts to a 3 week delay in the peak to mid May if an exponential growth model holds.

Just saw this article today about how Dr. Burry is also now noting that this distancing recommendation may do more harm than good, both to people’s health and the economy - https://apple.news/AK6h2s7ISSJGExb62-4GIfg

There is also the new pin prick blood test which may be able to demonstrate immunity. One could have some sort of certificated or proven immune status required for attendees and workers. A bit Orwellian perhaps, but if done privately and voluntarily, then it would be up to individuals.
