We have no national plan, different strategies by state, and free movement between the states, so why not? Just let the coronavirus rip. Keep your sensitive relatives indoors. As a hot state without much density or public transport, Texas will do better than most.https://twitter.com/KelemenCari/status/1248752893894811649 …

You're covid takes range from super cautious to let it rip. Something's off.

No no. I’m saying we should let it rip because no one wants to be cautious and implement a nationwide plan. If you don’t implement a nationwide plan, you might as well let it rip. You see what I’m saying? It’s like either close the door or open it. Don’t half open it.

So your preferences/positions are in order of priorities: 1. Be super cautious at all levels (nation/state/individual) 2. Let it rip 3. Half ass measures combining the worst of both worlds Did i get it right?

Yup

Yeah that makes more sense. Not sure i totally agree, i think half measures have some merit in this case (curve flattening and whatnot), but less clear trade-offs.

It all depends on the measures. Not all of this stuff is necessarily on a spectrum. The super cautious approach may be less bad economically than the half-assed approach. What I’m trying to say is that if we’re not going to be competent, let’s let it rip.

For example, super cautious does not mean staying indoors for next 6 months. It means a proper national strategy that I laid out in that medium post. I’d we can’t get that, let’s just go for the let it rip strat because hard lockdown in 1 state and let it rip in another means
