I do think that will be the new normal: social distancing, facemasks, handwashing, maybe even temperature checks in workplaces. But it has to be accompanied by increased testing and contact tracing. We don't want to go through all this just to have a spike that we can't contain. The longer we stretch the contagion out over the better it is for our hospitals and gives us more time to develop treatments.

I think that's a fair point, and I probably agree with you.

Have any of the hospitals in Virginia been even close to overwhelmed? I don't remember seeing any point at which we were even about 50% capacity. And, I get that is mostly due to our social distancing and stay-at-home orders, no arguments there. But, if we've been under 50% the entire time, is it fair to wonder if our restrictions that have caused 100k unemployment claims in Hampton Roads residents to have been a little too aggressive?
