To paraphrase WHO Exec Dir Michael Ryan, “In a pandemic, if you wait until you are correct to act, you will lose every time.” Perhaps you are comfortable in your ivory tower waiting on high quality studies later, but down below, people are dying right now.
Yes. I agree. Nothing conclusive. But the divergence is we have an emergency. If this were any other time, I would agree with you. But this is a time for split paths. Act now AND pursue more data. Be ready to pivot as more data comes in.
