And the answer to this concern is: TEST PEOPLE.
It's not that hard... You don't have to halt the entire economy and shut everything down. It's how South Korea solved it. It ends up being wayyyyyy more economically sensible. You test everyone, quarantine the sick and limit the spread. It works rapidly and effectively. See below:

South Korea developed an entire testing infrastructure in 6 days that the US merely had to copy. Instead tests seem to be reserved exclusively for celebrities/NBA players, and those on their death beds, WITH fever over 102 (NOT 101.9, SORRY, don't qualify then), AND have been in direct contact with a confirmed case (direct contact with someone who died of pneumonia?... sorry, if they didn't get tested, you don't qualify).
Hard to say you were in direct contact with someone who tested positive when no one can get tested... This, in my opinion, may be the largest blunder of the whole pandemic.
It's improving now, but far too late.
