Why We Are Not Doing Enough To Stop the Pandemic (in Simpler Math) (https://medium.com/@Jason_Scott_Warner/why-we-are-not-doing-enough-to-stop-the-pandemic-in-simple-math-1722a5053cda)
You must go all in. It is the only way. And you must start today:
Here’s what every person in America must do for the next 20 days. You must start today, there are 6 things:
1. You must begin to shelter in place for the next 20 days.
2. You must avoid all unnecessary contact with other people, for the next 20 days. You can still go to the grocery store, or get gas or get medications. Just be smart. It’s well documented what you must do. Stay 6 feet apart. Wash your hands. You know the drill.
3. You must tell your boss that you cannot work for 20 days. Show them this post and tell them they must read and understand the information.
4. You must cancel or change your flight, even if you are away from home and even if the airline charges you for the flight. Tell the airlines and hotel to read this post. We will work out the details after 20 days.
5. You know what I am saying is true. You must convince the others. We all must convince our fellow citizens. Many will not believe, because they are scared and because the math makes it impossible to see. Just last week people called me crazy and called it hype. And because of uncertainty around money and fear they will resist and deny this truth. I have laid out everything everyone needs to understand in this post.
6. You may contract the virus. You may get sick. But you must not go to the hospital unless you get very sick.
7. If you are an influencer or know an influencer, people with large followers, you must get this message to them. People with 10s of millions of followers must help spread the message. Because of exponential math the virus continues to spread so every hour matters. Everyone must read this. If you need to speak to me first you must send me a DM on Facebook.
8. Call or email or send this post to your mayor or government official. Time is of the essence. The fastest way to implement the required measures is for government to help us both communicate, and enforce the behaviors. This a key responsibility of government, to help us through times like these when we struggle with monumental issues like the COVID pandemic.
Finally: Wuhan stopped the virus in 12 days and is returning to normal, because you cannot easily transmit the virus without person to person contact. There are no more cases in Wuhan. It took them 12 days to get to the peak, and a lot of discomfort after the peak. Many died, but we now know there is only way to defeat the virus.
I know it feels uncertain, and is scary. But I challenge you this: it is just 20 days. At the end of 20 days we all have more information and the next steps will be clearer. We may need more time after 20 days. But sheltering in place is required in order to get through this with the least amount of suffering and loss of life.
We will rebuild, like we always have, and be stronger and more united as a nation because of it. And we must come together, and help one another, because getting through this requires that we do.
