In so many words, we fucked up our economy because we didn’t have a robust/flexible/scalable approach to managing the quarantine.

It’s an epic fuck up for sure, it’s getting even more epic now that places like California are still extending the lockdown.

We didn’t have the courage to lockdown sooner, and now we don’t have the courage to open up sooner.

California's not still extending the lockdown. Restaurants are beginning to reopen, and almost all businesses are expected to open in June.
So I’ll believe that when I see it. The deadline got moved three times already.
Sure, that's fair, but I think there's reason for optimism this time. Many counties are actually opening faster than they'd planned at the beginning of the month.
