A post-isolation plan is needed

Economically, politically, socially and medically every government has bungled this situation from the beginning.

China finally quarantined 11 million — better late than never.

Dozens of countries flew hundreds out of the quarantine all over the globe.

After the virus was everywhere, people were still allowed to fly all over the globe and nationally.

People are still travelling nationally and being encouraged to fly home from wherever they might be all over the globe, even if they might be in a small, healthy and isolated community.

We need to identify healthy individuals, groups, communities, towns and cities and isolate them so they can function normally, perhaps even more than we need to identify infected, individuals, groups, communities, towns and cities and isolate them so they can limit infection.

As individuals we can only sit in the house for so long being responsible and then we regrettably need government to organize a process to move our society from isolated to certified healthy.

So let’s encourage the so-called experts to make a plan to isolate, then begin to certify healthy, then return to normal activities; one isolated person, group, community, town and city at a time.

Or we could just keep having people flounder all around the country from everywhere spreading the virus because we don’t have a simple plan for the future beyond self-isolation forever. Stu Innes, Regina
