> You say it isn’t saving lives, so what do you think it is? I think that they intend to save lives but that their understanding of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the best way to address it is so overly simplistic that the myopic policies they are instituting are going to lead to larger mortality over the long-term. Which is the pattern we see at the broader scale as well when we examine the US' response to the pandemic. So, like I implied above, their intentions are good, but intentions are largely worthless.
