Safety advice for reopening

It is more fun criticizing

From WSJ - safety advice for reopening after lockdown



Its really a balance between reopening the economy and saving lives.  Shall people die from Covid19 or from hunger and famine.

Countries are in a hurry to open economy despite the risk of 2nd wave or resurgence.   This despite having high number of cases in US (Singapore, Philippine)

Japan successfully battled covid 19 without forced lockdown but by convincing citizens to avoid 3c:

       1.  Close personal contact
       2.  Crowds
       3.  Closed spaces

where droplets in plumes or aerosols and infect individuals with minimum  infection dose.

1.   Going back to work -   test individuals, social distancing,  wearing face mask avoiding the plumes at CR

2.   Commuting  -  social distancing, wearing of face masks,

3.   Supermarkets -  have the products delivered instead. 

3.   Restaurants -  judicious social distancing, hand sanitizing.
