To clarify, the Giesecke approach is merely to use the clearer goal of keeping the case load manageable to the health services.
I don't know who came up with the idea that the goal would be heard immunity. Arguably, a "lockdown until vaccine" strategy is more clearly focused on (artificially) reaching herd immunity.
- JackFr 7y agoThe lockdowns were sold on “flatten the curve” — which they have done, dramatically so, if we take ex ante predictions as accurate. They were not supposed to be the new normal.
- SiempreViernes 7y agoTrue, my mistake. In my defence, there is a lot of "reasons" for the lockdowns floating around in the global conversation. This particular error on my part I regarding the reasons for the lockdown I attribute to Tomas Pueyo and his hammer-and-dance amateur epidemiology blog.
