The US Should Have Taken Action Earlier

I am completely in agreement with Taleb on that point, and California was negligent for a little more than a month.

Conditions for PHASE 1 reopening:
+ Mandatory masks in public
+ Tests
+ No superspreaders: subways, urologists conferences, etc.
+ Monitoring of passengers
+ Economists & psychologists stay locked-up at in permanent quarantine.

Basically what we should have done in late January.
