When the lock down rules are going to be eased soon here in New York, what we should do with COVID-19, which is NOT obvious who’s infected because of the well-known asymptomatic and minimally symptomatic carriers, who are infectious without obvious signs of being infected?

All serious problems have details and complexities. But too often these complexities distract us from what’s straightforward about the problem. Here’s what’s straightforward about the COVID-19 pandemic:

• A pandemic won’t spread if you PREVENT infected people from coming into contact with susceptible people

When it’s obvious who’s infected, this is straightforward, though not always easy from a practical standpoint. So, when there is still no scientific or technological breakthroughs yet, what we should do highly relies to our own logic common senses: keeping strict hygiene routines, reminding yourself social distancing to others, and avoiding crowd.

The last but not the least, be a responsible person who cares about yourself and others :).
