Opinions | Trump understands what his critics don t: The current lockdown is unsustainable

No one in the White House is suggesting that we sacrifice the elderly or the vulnerable. Asked by a reporter how many deaths are you willing to accept? to restore growth, Trump answered none. Rather, the goal is to get this country to the same place as South Korea, which has effectively contained the virus without quarantining tens of millions of people. South Koreans did so by following a strategy of Trace, Test and Treat using mass testing to isolate the infected while allowing healthy people to go about their lives. South Korea has been able to do this because it was able to test early. We have not because we lost six crucial weeks in ramping up testing thanks to the incompetence of the Food and Drug Administration, which refused to allow private and academic advanced labs to develop coronavirus tests. Only in March were FDA restrictions lifted and outside labs given the green light to begin testing.
