That's the conventional wisdom, but as I mentioned in another comment on this thread, I'm not convinced that's the case, especially with a contagion that is most dangerous to less active people.
- ajross 7y agoThen with all due respect, you really need to cite someone expert on the subject. Seriously public health policy folks are universally recommending social isolation (of which quarantine is the most expensive variant), and it has worked. Who exactly leads you to believe that this isn't working? This is a poor time for armchair analysis when we're looking at worst case scenarios involving millions of deaths.
- lend000 7y agoThis is an online forum for technically minded people -- none of these comments result in prescribing public policy. Like you, I am only an armchair expert in this particular field, but it seems like a perfectly fine medium to discuss and debate new hypotheses. Not every idea needs to be put forward by someone with the right badge to be worth discussing, especially on an open forum, so please don't try to limit intellectual discussion simply because of fear.
