You mean like shutting down travel from contaminated countries, which was widely viewed as a terrible choice just a week ago?

There was only one way for the virus to get here, and that was through travel.

CDC fucked up the testing after that failed, which got us to where we are now. Testing is supposed to be fixed this week.

CDC just recommended people not gather in groups of more than 50. Things are starting to tighten down significantly.

At this moment, I feel like we have a very real chance of getting a handle on things within the next two weeks. From there, we live through another month or two of lockdown and slow burn our way into summer.

It's going to be hard, but I don't think we're dead in the water yet.
