talk about a hard-to-take-seriously, unhelful comment, at the top no less... so reactionary, no suggestions, just complaints... perhaps just a little charity would suggest that the mere framing of a problem helps people further frame solutions, that more than one post just might be warranted for such an encompassing topic. in any case, rather than obsessing over irrelevant minutiae as the mediopolitical machine has done over the past 2 years to their own substantial benefit, what we should have done is simple: (1) quarantine the elderly with their caregivers (well-supported/-compensated, on a rotating basis), (2) be mindful only of long, close indoor exhaust-sharing (not incidental/public contact), and (3) quarantine when sick. but otherwise, get on with life absent economic ravagement, mass psychosocial injury, increased socioeconomic inequality, and depressed health and welfare. then when the vaccines came, (4) supply (not mandate) them to the vulnerable and the risk-averse. this is basically what sweden did except for #1, which is where their mortality rates took a big hit. this approach is well supported by the available scientific evidence, unlike most of what we did, but it has no mediopolitical support, which is why it's so woefully under-considered and under-recommended.
