Is there a way to list companies / publications by how serious they see and take COVID-19 reporting?
It's like a litmus test: if you don't believe in COVID-19, what else do you have wrong?
I believe staggered lockdowns, coupled with extensive testing and tracing, was what Dr John Campbell advocated for throughout the entirety of the pandemic.
- pmiller2 6y agoYeah, I agree. There are really only 2 approaches that seem to make any sense whatsoever: staggered lockdowns; or one, big, mother of all lockdowns that eliminates the virus entirely, followed by strict border controls. We've seen already that the latter strategy is not practical in the US, if only because people simply won't adhere to lockdown restrictions. Staggered lockdowns allow us to keep something of the economy going, while still not overwhelming the healthcare system, and this probably represents the best outcome we can hope for now.
- musicale 6y ago> people simply won't adhere to lockdown restrictions This is something that policymakers should probably keep in mind. Unpopular regulations (such as certain highway speed limits) that are not strictly and universally enforced can simply be ignored until they become largely irrelevant. Moreover, there is probably widespread voter opposition to extended, strict lockdowns - even if they are called for by public health officials.
