Coronavirus: How does all of this end?
- sharemywin 6y agoThis article was about how lockdowns were bad. I would argue that's entirely the wrong conversation. First off the argument is in bad faith. The argument was don't lock down and protect the vulnerable populations. But then no actual policies/money were put forward to protect them. Second, this as with most issues isn't a black and white issue. There were good policies and bad policies and we need to figure out which things worked and which ones didn't. The biggest question we need to ask is how much do we want to spend on public health. Third, this argument isn't taking into account viral mutation. A Billion test tubes walking around is going to produce much more mutation than a Million. And Last look at most of the Asian countries, which had much stronger lock down policies, Deaths/100k compared to the US.
