Forgive me if this is a cold question; I genuinely want to understand the answer. Isn't a 90% death rate of coronavirus patients on ventilators somewhat in tension with the message that we have to do everything in our power to flatten the curve so we don't run out of ventilators?

There's nothing wrong with profound changes in our understanding. There's nothing wrong with having been wrong before; we're probably still wrong now. I think public messaging is slow to respond to new information, but it does eventually catch up.

By contrast, twitter responds to new information so quickly that we often race AHEAD of the truth right into a new, advanced form of being wrong. And, of course, everything in the mainstream media is forcibly squeezed into a partisan narrative and thus is wrong in MULTIPLE ways.

Yes. I think it will end up like the "recycle empty toothpaste tubes into lead for bullets" of WWII (They were collected, but it turned out not to be practical to extract the lead.) Having these debates in public leads to entrenched factions which can't change when the facts do.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
