Shelter-in-place is not like a short-term course of drugs. A 6 or 8 weeks course of SiP doesn't cure the disease.  It's more like a tourniquet.  As long as you have it in place, it works.  Take it off and the bleeding resumes.

Just want to make sure I understand you.  America needs to shelter in place from now until there's a widely available vaccine for SARS-CoV-2?

I am offended that your response is trying to put words in my mouth.  Please refrain from trying to do that.   Next time, I may just respond in (un)kind.


The communicability of the disease hasn't changed.  The lack of immunity hasn't changed.  Our society & the world has taken drastic measures & costs.  We're seeing some progress, but also getting some of the stench of what the alternative is.
