Yeah; polarization needs to die and we need to desperately stop partisanizing every fucking thing. I think every person agrees. Gonna say that Trump and anti-Trump are equally at blame for this, maybe Trump a little more.https://twitter.com/interpretantion/status/1293949013356683267 …

Re: HCQ... This is the critical issue, IMO. If -- IF -- it is shown, beyond doubt, to be substantially effective (say 10% mortality reduction), then ENTIRE narrative of coronavirus changes. Anti-Trump crowd becomes directly responsible for 10k+ deathshttps://twitter.com/interpretantion/status/1293948680677056514 …

Oliver Omicronwell @interpretantionReplying to @interpretantion @spiderfoodsas for HCQ, i agree that there's been a smear campaign not based in any quest for the truth, but whether or not it works, trump's promotion of it was itself motivated by an agenda of promoting an alleged deus ex machina. so it comes off to me as part of the apathy1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

Imparting intent that he only boosted it for his own ego or whatever seems super weird to me. Seems like he just looked at facts / data coming from other countries, said "hey, this might be good", and then the entire anti-Trump world shifted to "HCQ is dangerous and evil"

Now for where I think the anti-Trump crowd *really* fucked up: Nationwide lockdowns were, and are, a complete and utter disaster -- easily worse than coronavirus itself, in my estimation. Especially now that Sweden looks to be achieving herd at only 15 - 20% seroprevalence.

really dispute that Sweden is achieving herd immunity, they have other public health interventions, not just herd immunity, test and trace and social distancing and no mass gatherings. no (minimal?) riots / protests, no school also seroprevalance is unclear as a measure

Sure; and to be fair, I'm super iffy on this, it's a very tough epidemiology question, I know nothing. Mostly going off of what this guy said about it, whose models seem to have been 100% correct so farhttps://www.stanforddaily.com/2020/05/04/qa-nobel-laureate-says-covid-19-curve-could-be-naturally-self-flattening/?fbclid=IwAR1E-ZDlqcLtz0rd2WFBjLa3qPh-Cr0lISp3uxIYbNFjdazTb5c7HX4c_Gw …

haven't been tracking Levitt very carefully but he's been off on a few things and said we'd be done and over this in august which just defies comprehension to me.

the big effect that you're seeing is which population is getting it, the second factor is that the hospitals are not overwhelmed, & changes like pronation, oxygen, avoiding respirators, steroids work people who are getting this and spreading it are mainly younger

Right; I guess I’m interpering “done and over” to mean the big bulk of panic should subside, business should mostly resume, etc. We should keep social distancing and wearing masks basically forever. Honestly the regular flu sucks, lol
