I disagree. The unelected planners can take their first pie in the sky cut at planning and exercise their ideal imaginations to arrive at the perfect process from their "perfect" models.
But at some point, the elected executive management has to put their seal of imprimatur on that. If THOSE clowns don't exercise some judgment and critical thinking and quash the perfect plan and scale it back to something less intrusive and damaging, then THAT is where the problem resides.
When the executives hide behind SCIENCE(!) as their fig leaf for action, it is either mere cowardice, mendacity, or stupidity.
Perhaps I shouldn't speak for what Boggsy is getting at, but it seems to me he is making a case for managing the after-action legal fallout. This may seem counterintuitive in the heat of an engagement, but there is always the follow-on action of the cops (or immediate lack thereof) and the Monday morning quarterbacking a politically charged prosecutor might engage in. Which appears to be in process already in STL.
A way of getting attuned to these bad follow-on consequences is to read anything by Rory Miller and/or Lawrence Kane. A good beginning is "The Little Black Book of Violence." It gives examples of how you can survive and otherwise thrive an attack or engagement and get ground up by the criminal justice millstones.
One more lie to add to the heap. I and several others commented on the likely effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine despite the CNN campaign saying it was ineffective and the "experts" also making the same claim.

Rip, guns are bad. mmmmmkay? Private property is bad. mmmmkay? Defending yourself is wrong. mmmmmkay?
Legally, he could stand in his tightie-whities armed to the gills in his yard a foot away from the “protesters.” His wife has added a variable that will likely make her a sacrificial lamb, in that by her ineptitude, she wound up pointing her gun toward the crowd.
If this were a black couple the media would ignore it or praise them. Hell, they started down that road with the former marine that disarmed the “peaceful protester” here in Seattle but they quickly realized there are easier targets to advance their agenda.
This is what it will look like if “protesters” start moving into neighborhoods. But the outcome won’t hold.
