        Hmm, to be sure, let's find out by running a trial. Trump said that shutdowns are a cure worse than the disease. So USA sounds like a great non-intervention arm.

        What was depressing was how many laypeople in the U.K. could see it was nonsense (and could see the international scientific community dissent), but also how many people who should have known better snapped back “it’s 🇬🇧 SCIENCE 🇬🇧 “

        Get a group of economists & behavioural scientists to do the job of epidemiologists & public health specialists. What could go wrong? Let's not mention theory are evidently not that great at their own specialities based on their models of economic & human behaviour.pic.twitter.com/DuA6stJwbI

        Not to mention the lasting damage it will have on those who survive it. (It’s not the Flu) and they’re not publicizing the impact. CDC reports 17 days after cruise ship was emptied, virus still found. This is either ignorant or blatant human culling...

        If you are even thinking of herd immunity as a strategy you don't understand herd immunity.
