How the US Can Dig Itself Out of the COVID Hole

The pandemic in the US seems to be getting worse day by day. However, it's not impossible to mitigate the worst of its effects; however, it may take more political and social will than the political leaders and people of the US have exhibited so far. 

Here's an article that offers some advice from several public health experts. 
But this is not a binary choice between societal lockdowns and the “party like it’s 2019” approach that put the country in the bind it’s in now. With that in mind, STAT asked a number of public health experts for a single suggestion of how we get ourselves out of this mess. We got lots.

None is a magic bullet. This is going to be a painful and slow process. But there are things individuals, public health departments, state and local governments, and the Trump administration can do.

The fire brigade needs us all.
