1. Everyone should wear surgical masks

2. Temperature checks everywhere

3. Testing needs to be ubiquitous and fast

4. Backtrace every outbreak and quarantine everyone that was in contact

I agree in general with one change:

s/surgical masks/nonmedical fabric or homemade masks/

At this point there is a shortage of PPE for healthcare workers, so the general public should wear nonmedical fabric masks or homemade masks.

I can agree wholeheartedly with this. We need our best PPE on the frontlines. That said everyone should be covering their face when they go anywhere they could have contact with other humans (grocery, pharmacy, etc).
