This is going to sound alarmist, but so would the idea of politicians putting themselves into quarantine just a few weeks ago.

We need to start thinking about postponement of the 2020 election, with COVID-19 cited as the reason. Expect the drumbeat of this tune to grow louder and louder in the coming months.
