There is one wrinkle to that idea - compliance.

Even if we did give everyone protective suits, I can guaranteed a not insignificant percentage of the country wouldn't play along.

My family and I went on a walk and everyone was social distancing, then some guy jogged right past us like he didn’t care at all. Pretty annoying.

If only you were in China and could report on him for bad behavior...

The nice thing is, assuming the suits work correctly, it doesn't matter if other people comply. As long as you wear a suit, you'll be safe.

We’re back to the core problem of this virus: it’s not that you have a very high chance of dying from it, it’s that our system isn’t scoped to handle the high hospitalization rates.

I can wear a suit, but I’m still impacted if our hospitals are overwhelmed and FEMA runs out of ice trucks for the bodies.
