A working plan seems to be emerging from the fog of war. It isn't fun. It requires isolating those that feel sick, those that test positive, and those that are in contact with those that test positive.
This plan is also written without due consideration for individual liberties. It is simply a list of what works to stop the virus from spreading, while keeping the economy functioning long enough for effective treatments and vaccines to be developed and "herd immunity" achieved. An implementation of this plan, however, would need to balance the concerns for individual liberties against the common good.
This plan is not original. It is the aggregate of what has already been widely reported and argued to be working. I have simply collected them in this living document and will continue to add, subtract and edit as we gain better insights.
