The most galling this about this ^ is the fact it was obvious from the start what course had to be followed, and it wasn't. When I aborted my ride across the country in March and drove home, it was the prospect of a tsunami of cases that loomed over the moment, exactly as described in the article.

This roadmap should have been used, or at least attempted.
