Whilst I prefer the more informed critique from Dr Catherine Bennett (see below), your summation of Chip's article is not that fair. Or maybe I'm just agreeing with any critique cause we've got 7 more weeks of curfew and 5km restrictions?https://twitter.com/aishamae/status/1302747387769704449?s=19 …

I feel sympathy with the argument, because I agree that it's a bit of a false appeal to authority to say that epidemic models are "scientific truth", I just don't see how you can then pivot to businesses' opinions as your source of truth instead
