Hindsight is 20/20. Could you or anyone have said this a few months ago?
EDIT: let me make it clear what I'm saying/implying. Saying stuff about opportunity cost means that you think that this wasn't necessary. Given the fears of overrunning hospitals, I can't see anyone being able to justify not doing this except in hindsight.
- keiferski 6y agoNo, I’m not saying that it wasn’t necessary. Simply that a more intelligent analysis would have factored in various costs and benefits, as well as the likelihood of actual events vs. perceived ones. Every action has unintended consequences, but this simple fact seems to have been total forgotten with the response to the coronavirus.
- kosievdmerwe 6y agoFair. :) I feel like I'm seeing this with the "lock down until vaccine/forever" viewpoint as one of the most recent examples.
