I wonder whether these kind of normative political judgments really do belong in peer-reviewed journals. I think sometimes health experts forget that while many non-experts have strayed wildly into their lane, the inverse is also true. There is no “right” answer to a lot of this.
"We should appreciate young adults who help generate herd immunity by living normal lives and keeping society afloat. When people throw misguided complaints at you, falsely claiming that you are endangering others, remember that the opposite is true."https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/herd-immunity-is-still-key-in-the-fight-against-covid-19 …

this recommendation should be paired with a CLEAR description about how to prevent spread from the younger to the older population. since both groups have wildly different IFRs then it is the link between them that is important.
-
Agree. Young adults should stay away from older family members, neighbors and friends. If working with the elderly, and not already immune, frequent testing is important. College kids should be at college with age-appropriate friends, not at home.

Can you speak to the hysteria of healthy kids diagnosed with asymptotic or mild covid? Isn’t that a key part to building immunities?
-
The hysteria over healthy kids who are diagnosed with covid is due to: a) the risk that they’ll pass it on to unhealthier populations, b) the fact that even healthy survivors have serious ongoing health issues, c) the fact that even healthy young people DIE from Covid19.

We must urgently return to the science, and never forget our error this time around, which led to tragic loss of life. Most importantly, we must lockdown

I am in agreement with your assessment but your proposed “shoulds” will never happen. Fear has an R0 of 5.0

I'm trying to follow experts and scientific advice but it's so difficult when it seems half of epidemiologists feel striving for herd immunity is risky or potentially not possible due to virus mutation. Can you explain why there is such a great divide amongst experts?
-
Most infectious disease epidemiologists I talk to favor an age-tailored mitigation strategy to minimize mortality. Among vocal scientists in other fields, most seem to advocate a suppression strategy through general age-wide counter-measures and lockdowns. Why? I do not know.
