Can we take a step back from declarations of martial law and complete economic ruin and mass suicide?
Step by step you slow things in society and government for a bit, give the population time to brace itself and prep without panic. You buy our healthcare providers some time to prep the best they can and reduce the onslaught of cases needed to be treated at one time. Then, you take this thing week by week, eventually you have to start activating society again even under the precaution of encouraging your high risk demo to continue to stay at home.
Jobs will be lost and businesses will go out of business but from that opportunity will rise, a buyers market will develop and creative hard working people will find new ways to make money.
Have a quarantine and chill, keep your most at risk safe.
Martial law will be essential, while hopefully not needed to the fullest extent or maybe much here in KY, police will not have the manpower nationwide to handle a massive event of this proportion. Luckily we have the finest military the world has ever known to not only assist police, but help provide a network of essentials. Without the men and women of our military we would be in far deeper ****. One thing is already abundantly clear, people cannot be placed on an honor system and trusted to do what is right. Right now the Pentagon is already allocating emergency equipment by dipping into their reserves of
ventilators and masks which were meant for our military under threat of bio warfare. The Army Corp of Engineers will be tasked with building a network of
medical and social facilities and they will get the job done. It's time for some nation building in our own nation.
Folks this is not China, we can trust our military to protect and defend us domestically in one of the most uncertain times of our nations history. We must focus right now on saving as many lives as possible, making sacrifices that a month ago we would have scoffed at and get past this unmitigated disaster
as soon as we can. Let the jobs and economy sort its self out on the other side and just focus at what's at hand - yes, it's going to be hell, but we got this!
