Reading elsewhere I found a description of how Singapore and Taiwan are preserving mostly normal life for the majority while jumping hard on those suspected contagious.
One example is they have the capability to combine their airline reservations and national health insurance databases, to identify high-risk travelers for testing and quarantine. Another example, a testing station at a mall entrance, apparently measuring forehead temperature.
Their intensive solutions aren't a good fit for here. But for them, the life of the majority isn't as disrupted as our lockdown. Hopefully there are some examples that would be helpful here.

I am also wondering why we are not trying to sterilize N95 masks? Instead of throwing away after each patient encounter can we throw away the mask at the end of the shift? can we spray some disenfectant on the mask after each encounter? Or maybe UV light exposure for a few seconds? Would this help the shortage?
Pretty decent article that is a bit less doom and gloom...
Amazing how we can all manipulate data to show whatever trend or statistic we would like to push our own agenda!

Hearing from my SIL nurse that some are having to do this very task!I am also wondering why we are not trying to sterilize N95 masks?

WOW! That hasn't been reported over here, and I regularly watch Sky News. :thumbsdown:
