        Still waiting for Vermeule's inevitable "COVID-19" is God's punishment for your decadent sins".

        Thankfully, the faculty of the Harvard Medical School should be immune enough to stick to Tweeting about their areas of academic competence - which do not include constitutional law.

        Lawyers have the worst takes on everything. The law is a man-made, arbitrary system, master it's intricacies gives you as much authority on matters of science as memorizing all the AL batting leaders since 1900.

        that ESR hasn't been called out goes to show that some people are so egregiously bad at opinions that they get wiped from collective reality.

        .@tribelaw's tweet is shown without context. He isn't advocating a relaxation of the lockdown or deliberately exposing people to the virus. Subsequent tweets show he was describing the worst scenario, and then he goes on to describe better scenarios.

        I think one issue is binary thinking. There are various levels of social distancing, mask-wearing, and test-and-trace to slow the spread and to reduce risk to those most vulnerable. It’s not just on or off, open or closed.

        I do think it’s important to emphasize that “flatten the curve” doesn’t necessarily reduce deaths - other than excess deaths that result from the health care system being overwhelmed - it just spreads things out more evenly.
