- downerending 6y agoThat was and is always true, since the beginning of time.
- thoughtstheseus 6y agoI’m curious who would argue against there being a pandemic ? The prediction seems quite obvious just based off historical periodicity of pandemics.
- redis_mlc 6y agoDr. Michael Osterholm is 100% in agreement with what I've been saying for over 2 months, same as Dr. VDH's Youtube lectures and interviews.

- redis_mlc 6y agoDr. Victor Davis Hanson interview on corona and lack of lock-down cost-benefit analysis (Apr. 24) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqCudv-JQ2o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqCudv-JQ2o He opposed the lockdown after May 1, which I agree with (we are both in California)
- cafard 6y agoI would tend to trust Victor David Hanson on plague that killed Pericles, less so on Covid-19. His doctorate is in history, not medicine.
- redis_mlc 6y agoHe's studied multiple plagues, so knows what the outcomes were. His comment about corona is that somehow society allowed medical science to be the only voice, when there are equally important societal and economic impacts not being considered. (Somehow can be interpreted to mean "in an election year.") To me, that's a more important message than what an epidemiologist says in isolation. I'm guessing that the result of lockdown will be that more years of life were lost to cardio problems (no exercise) than corona itself. In developing countries, there already is starvation.
