Here Are Belgium's Recommendations

Here are the COVID-19 recommendations of a Belgian virologist:
  1. Italian-style lockdown, all non essential economic activities are suspended;
  2. Belgian day-care centers closed;
  3. FFP2 masks or gas masks or hydroxychloroquine, for all those on the front line; recycling of masks; those who have no real protection remain in reserve; more respirators are needed;
  4. Massive nucleic acid and serological screening of all suspected cases;
  5. Industrial production of FFP2 masks to put the population back to work when the health lockdown is lifted;
  6. Universal income during the government-mandated lockdown period.

In the US we're not fully implementing ANY of these, so if he is right we're going to have a difficult time getting out of the mess we're in.
