@MartinKulldorff's plan is an example of a rational way forward. Risk-based mitigation plus high-yield/low burden NPIs. Sustainable & saves lives, while reducing collateral control costs. Goal is optimize all-cause mortality/human welfare, not just covid.https://www.contagionlive.com/news/evaluating-age-based-coronavirus-strategies-martin-kulldorff …3 replies 13 retweets 57 likesShow this thread -

@MartinKulldorff Does Sweden (possibly excluding Stockholm nursing homes) sero-positivity and mortality data show the kind of biasing to younger ages (as compared to China/NY/Italy) which would be expected from a successful strategy to protect the elderly?2 replies 0 retweets 1 like
For seropositivity, yes. Youth mortality is so low, one would not expect to see much difference.
