      They should have done nothing about Corona. Absolutely nothing. No closures, tests, vaccines, just the old lindy strategy of nothing against this & all other viruses like it. All their interventions caused the drama that were the justification for intervening in the first place

      For a 1-2 week period at the beginning I was at least open to the notion that they should’ve done a little bit o’something, but very soon I realized that events and empirics had clearly proved me mistaken; they should’ve done nothing. My bad

      I was like you. I genuinely bought the story that hospitals needed to prepare/stock up, so the first two weeks sort of made sense (freaky, but some logic was there), then April 1st passed, then Easter…. It has been so gross.

      There was never any sound logic behind "two weeks to slow the spread" - none. The logic is inexorable - either R0 is above or below 1 and if it's close to 1 for 2 weeks that accomplishes nothing.

      There was a half-baked logic which was that chart showing how spreading the peak out a little might help keep it under ‘capacity’. Everyone then promptly forgot that this (already, barely-substantive) rationale was the only ostensible purpose of doing any Measures.

      The amazing thing is that this made-up cartoon chart was more honest than most of what we’ve gotten since, because it implicitly conceded that Measures wouldn’t really change the final infection tally, just spread them out a little. Apparently few actually understood this.

      The problem there is that there are laws to decentralized human decision making with no one in authority that are just as real as natural laws about viral spread and it was always impossible to easily back out of that action or make it only apply for two weeks.

      There was a list of a dozen reasons why the various "lockdown" measures were justified and thousands of people with veto power over reversing any action once that's what the system is doing and no one would *dream* of putting someone in charge who could override the vetoes.

          Every one of the people with a veto had a different idea in his head as to why and isn't accountable to anyone and can just keep vetoing ending the measure because it make him feel important and there's nothing that can stop that.
