It is absolutely stunning to observe how the scientific community has reacted to the public health aspects of the pandemic. When the fog clears, one of the consequences of the pandemic will be public distrust in science and scientists.

Many 80 yr olds need significant support 2live & can't be isolated frm family indefinitely. What does viable protection/isolation of old people look like to you?
To protect the elderly, e.g. (i) use caretakers with immunity, (ii) if not possible, perform daily testing of caretakers, (iii) do not delay herd immunity generated by the young, as that lengthens the time the elderly must self-isolate, increasing risk and social isolation.

For significant number of 80+ people, the only available & affordable caretakers are younger family members. Except possibly Covid infection camps 4young (which'll be a hard sell), any scheme 4isolating olds will have big gaps in practice. R there historical examples?

Anyway, your piece is the 1st argument favoring HI that this suppression supporter found honest and reasonable. Thanks for writing it.
