1/ It's like the B117s are playing "Love Shack" there's so …

2/ Government action, when they're finally motivated enough to do something, must be based on the worst case scenario, not the best case held together by prayer and duct tape. You cannot have 500 people wandering around Home Depot, Costco, Walmart etc. in a zombie like state.

3/ All retail, bar "true" grocery stores and pharmacies, must be curbside pickup only. Walmart and Costco are not grocery stores so must be closed for inside shopping. They, more than any others, will figure out an efficient curbside pickup strategy. Ford must ignore the retail

4/ lobby because pissed-off shareholders are acceptable whereas hundreds or thousands more unnecessary deaths are NOT. The list from the March lockdown was good but might not be enough to suppress case counts from the VOCs.

6/ We are not far away from an influx of vaccine supply and the return of warmer weather so now is the time to act firmly and quickly.
Businesses forced to close must be compensated from the 9-12 billion $$ of Federal funds the government are sitting on as must employees of

7/ these businesses. We cannot increase the financial burden already faced by individuals and families.
Only a serious mitigation policy now will break the cycle of half-assed measures we have been stuck in since October. Explain clearly why these actions are required,

8/ the end goal and the science of why this will be the temporary policy. Explain it helps to end the cycle of uncertainty and is the quickest way back to normalcy. People will understand and comply when they have a clear understanding of government policy.
We MUST get numbers

9/ way down so TTI becomes viable in all regions; it is one of our most powerful tools. We also must get numbers down for a successful vaccine campaign COVID has shown it is very adept at evasion so vaccination with high numbers is not an "experiment" we want to take part in.

10/ Non essential manufacturing workplaces are major drivers of infection so close and compensate.
None of these measures are *guaranteed* to work but they give us a huge fighting chance to get on top of our community spread

11/ just when we are heading to the darkest period we have been in since the pandemic began.
Anything less than this will keep the government making ineffective moves while case counts, pressures on our fragile healthcare system and deaths continue to accelerate.

12/ Adding a curfew to the measures in place is just not enough at this point.
