I feel the goal of "flatten the curve" was the minimum we were trying to achieve, so as to encourage people not to give up completely. But really, beating the virus, with every community quarantined until they had, that was the more desirable goal, and completely achievable in different circumstances. But in the absence of global leadership, it's an interesting question of how countries with the successful measures that are clearly possible will re-enter the global economy.

One thing we have to deal with is the volume of people who cope with their miserable lives by chasing money. They're going to be like addicts cut off from their fix.

There doesn't seem to be any consideration of a war economy.
