A lockdown is like a tourniquet:Meanwhile, on the LEFT coast, the governor has reported that a consortium of non-profits has arranged a manufacturer with contacts to generate fifty million face-masks a month NOW, etcetera, etcetera - It's a nation-state after all (mentioning several impressive talk points about the Californian economy) - so that I was ready to lift him up to where I had placed General Todd Semonite who gave another encouraging interview today to the media, personifying disaster command presence: about instant fit-outs of fever hospitals for the next beleaguered state - New Jersey - who are suffering grievously at present.

To suppress the disease without a lockdown requires a
complex multi-step process. Alas, AFAICT *none* of the
required steps are properly in place now, and we are
not even on a path to put them in place.
This is murder.
