Healthcare professionals demanded we drastically reduce the jail population, so we listened. On Jan 21, the SF jail population was 1,238. On March 4, when the emergency was declared, it was 1,097. Yesterday, it was 766. Meanwhile, crime rates continue to decrease in SF.
I mean when 99% of them agree on something, yea I assume it’s true. Anti-intellectualism is a cancer on society; when people have dedicated their whole lives to a field, they know better than a layperson.

If we let a guy out of jail and he murders someone in a robbery but doesn’t get corona is that a win for public health. Doctors are notoriously myopic and only care about their specialty. They keep dying people alive longer than they need to be, prolonging their suffering.

You’re operating on the assumption that that is a likely scenario. There is a much higher chance that someone will get corona AND die in jail/prison, then there is that a released prisoner is going to murder someone. It’s pure willie Hortonism to think otherwise.
