      Felix Salmon Retweeted Scott Gottlieb, MD

      I suspect that the US is deeply split right now between people who think that a persistent plateau of 2,000 deaths per day is prima facie unacceptable, and those who think that it’s just another risk that Americans will learn to live with.https://twitter.com/ScottGottliebMD/status/1256765834913091584 …

      Scott Gottlieb, MDVerified account @ScottGottliebMD
      Even as more economic activity is restarted, covid is expanding in many states and we face a persistent plateau of 30,000 daily cases and 2,000 deaths. A lot of the spread is clustered in disadvantaged communities and in at risk environments. We must focus intense resources there pic.twitter.com/QDYXL43iHm

      Part of the split is that the people who think this is acceptable don't belong to the demographics that will bear the brunt of the pandemic.

          And they will also claim moral high ground and that they are pro-life.

          The conservatives generally aren’t going to be ones dying in droves from Covid . It’s the minorities and therefore more left leaning communities that are being hit the hardest. The MAGATS are ready for everyone else to die for the Dow .

          Uhm, have we forgotten that a persistent plateau is made possible only by drastic changes in everyday life, and is a major public health success?This is not meant as Kushner-esue back patting (an earlier and more organized response could have saved tens of thousands of lives)...

          ...It's legit concern that if even smart commentators think the plateau is what we fear, then folks have missed the message.

          The demographics bearing the brunt are brown, black, poor, and that is what makes it acceptable to the people who think this is acceptable and you should never omit to mention this.

          And they also assume the demographics won't change over time.
