No that's not all you can do! That's not even coming close to a plan.
Very basic first steps.
1. Test everyone in your bloody country at risk of the virus - at the expense of the CDC/Federal Government - for the virus.
2. Quarantine - at the expense of the CDC/Federal Government - everyone who has the virus or who is at risk but can't be tested (yet).
3. Daily updates from the CDC on the spread of the virus and testing.
4. CDC speaking directly to the media, no politician involvement or filtering.
