"Now what ?" - Now we practice common sense social distancing and wait for the virus to take its course. No need to overreact and go full China style authoritarian lockdown. And yes, America is exceptional even if it annoys you.

America is not going to adopt common sense social distancing enough to be able to let virus run its course. That would requires massive cooperation in good faith from both parties and most states. Looking how things go on, it won't happen.

You are more likely to see epidemic being used to disadvantage other side, to make voting harder for this or that group and massive amount of lies then cooperation in good faith.

Which would had negative implications for democracies in rest of world too.
