One point of context that I don't think gets raised enough is that the US lockdowns (even in say NY & CA) were never *that* strict. — PolitiTweet.org

@SeanTrende Yeah, there's too little focus on the places (meat-packing plans, prisons, nursing homes) where there are very bad outbreaks among vulnerable populations and seemingly few efforts to ameliorate them. — PolitiTweet.org

If you had to do it all over again, then having a very brief (~3 weeks) but very strict lockdown to crush the curve as much as possible (R=0.6 or 0.7), followed by a laxer, more sustainable lockdown (R=0.8 or 0.9), might be optimal public policy given political constraints. — PolitiTweet.org
