    Your regular reminder that it is a RIDICULOUS FALSE DICHOTOMY to pretend that the choice is COVID-19 control OR the economy The choices include both, or neither

        They really should come to Vietnam and see how things work. After 14 days mandatory quarantine, and then they can see for themselves.

        I tell people if they want to protect the economy, then they need to control COVID. If they want to wreck the economy, don't control COVID.

        Actually this is sth Michael Meyer-Hermann from German "Helmholtz-Zentrum für Infektionsforschung" @Helmholtz_HZI is saying since the early days.https://twitter.com/maybritillner/status/1261089473930149890 …

        Das große Missverständnis ist, dass die Maßnahmen, die wir ergreifen, um das Virus zu unterdrücken, sich gegen die Menschen richten. Es ist das Gegenteil. Sie sollen Angst nehmen und die Wirtschaft wieder freilassen. Michael Meyer-Hermann @Helmholtz_HZI bei #illner #coronakrise pic.twitter.com/3qJzKVteLv

        It doesn't seem that hard to understand. Your article was spot on. People think that if everything reopens, everyone will just resume normal beh. Not true. Some don't care but millions will avoid dining out, travel, etc. Want a strong economy? Tackle the virus.

        #Remdesivir is the only treatment for corona. The treatment of 5 days costs $2340 but the producing (5 days) costs only $9. The medicine got $70M public money for the developing. #DoctorsWithoutBorders are pleading to reduce the price. -This's how marketing i.e. capitalism works!pic.twitter.com/gfQnE9W8bZ

        Anyone noticed that a new economy is roaring along despite Covid-19, or even because of it? Pleas to 'reopen' the old economy are like demanding the return of horse and buggy.
