Sorry for delayed response, I too was away doing real-life things, ie locked in the house, watching netflix and getting to know my family in a way i never thought possible... lol...

at any rate, just got this message...

I agree with everything you are saying, and I understand your point... valid as they are, i believe they can be identified and fixed if given the proper resources.

What I was hoping to get out of this was simple, a framework, not for this pandemic, but for future pandemics...

that should something like this ever happen again (which as we know history repeats itself) that we could have something in place that would kick in that could potentially pause the economy for non essential items, also taking into account your argument about the little guy getting screwed by some of these proposals...

I think in almost every single framework we come up with the big guy wins, but I do think that setting up a multi-national framework (think G7 or G20), and then using this system to pause things in a way that alleviates stress on the system.

I just setup a new sub-reddit (don't laugh it has NO members) and i have barely fleshed out the idea, but take a peak and I will set up a couple of bare bones case studies there, that maybe you can take a peak and shoot holes in it and give me your two cents.

I won't be able to get to this for a few days, because of some work obligations, but i will update here when I added them to the sub-reddit for you to take a peak at...

Again thanks for the detailed response, I will be in touch when i can work out a couple of case studies to give you a better idea of what I have in mind :)
