Getting strong “15 days to flatten the curve” vibes.

- perl4ever 6y agoThe only way I can interpret this is that you believe the cost-benefit is not there without a substantial altruistic motive. Do you think that, and if so, why?
- guscost 6y agoThe cost in this case is yet another step (or giant leap, depending on what you think of the past year) towards tyranny, to say nothing of the millions who will suffer and die from the actions that have already been taken. The benefit has not been worth the cost, and I will never go along with it. I will literally die on that hill if necessary. At this point I will not spend any more time trying to convince you. The only other thing to answer now is, are you ready to fight a war over this?

- maxerickson 6y agoThere were, uh, people arguing, 12 months ago, that this characterization was bad: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22908490 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22908490 Taiwan's had 1070 cases! And concerts and mostly normal life. (do note that I'm not calling for endless lock downs there, I'm calling for control measures that we didn't really work very hard to put into place; we could have done a lot more to reduce household and workplace spread and so on)
