We hope these plans give you hope. **Even under a pessimistic scenario, it *is* possible to beat COVID-19, while protecting our mental and financial health.** Use the lockdown as a "reset button", keep R < 1 with case isolation + privacy-protecting contract tracing + at *least* cloth masks for all... and life can get back to a normal-ish! Sure, you may have dried-out hands. But you'll get to invite a date out to a comics bookstore! You'll get to go out with friends to watch the latest Hollywood cash-grab. You'll get to people-watch at a library, taking joy in people going about the simple business of *being alive.* Even under the worst-case scenario... life perseveres. So now, let's plan for some *worse* worst-case scenarios. Water landing, get your life jacket, and please follow the lights to the emergency exits:. . .
Maybe you'd like to challenge our assumptions, and try different R0's or numbers. Or try simulating your *own* combination of intervention plans! **Here's an (optional) Sandbox Mode, with *everything* available. (scroll to see all controls) Simulate & play around to your heart's content:**
