There are essential operations running as we speak and they do take some of these precautions you mention.

Putting surgical face masks on everyone seems like a good start to avoid people carrying the virus from spreading it. These masks I take it are not as crucial to hospitals as respirators and should be available more broadly?

Measuring temperature is a good idea but only about half or less of infected run a fever.

Then also space people out both individually - 10+ feet in work stations and in groups - don't let shifts overlap.

I mentioned this in the other thread, but I also think we should have a soft ramp back. People always think about restaurants, malls etc. which I guess drive the economy but there are other important areas such as construction sites, manufacturing plants etc. and there we should start allowing careful re-opening if an area has flattened out on new infections.

I agree that we have to be able to measure better with tests. If we have to wait for deaths as an indicator how many people are out there sick, we are always 3 weeks behind the reality out there.

Not an easy task, but this will be our reality until we have better meds and / or vaccines.
