I think this would be a very good advice in any other politically charged situation, that requires quick action. However, in the case of pandemic your own plan has to depend heavily on the worldwide plan.

If my state would manage to kill 100% of the virus within its borders by quarantine-like measures, and then reopened the economy and everything else before other states and countries do the same, we'd quickly get the spread back on track. So if there's no federal/worldwide cooperation on that coming from the top, local politicians must push up as hard as they can for a global plan to be made.

At the very least, there must be a plan per continent.

immediate and pervasive reinfection is just not a primary concern, given what we've learned over the past few months epidemiologically and politically.

no governing body would open up everything immediately and let everyone go wild mixing it up. reopening will be controlled and coordinated enough to keep a lid on transmission rates (as implied by the CA roadmap), rather than attempting to eradicate all transmission in one globally-synchronous attempt. that would be wholly unrealistic.
