Thanks for linking that.

Regarding this:
quote:
There is no systematic plan for when a city should close schools, when they should tell businesses that they have to telework, when they should close movie theaters and cancel large gatherings. We leave these decisions to local officials, but we really should have a comprehensive plan in terms of recommendations to cities and then some support from the federal government for cities that make that step, make that leap, if you will.


Having a comprehensive plan w/ official recommendations is so important. It’s interesting because the CDC put out that recommendation that students abroad should consider coming back. And it wasn’t even a super strongly worded recommendation. But my university was among those that responded immediately to that by recalling all students abroad. And our students are all coming back now. Today was actually the deadline they were given to return.

I say that just to underscore that big institutions follow those guidelines and recommendations. If they have the recommendations there to be followed.

That’s a good interview.

So much different from the sort of thing we get today.
