Proposing a new concept. It’s called your “Death Number.” Your Death Number is the number of deaths of your fellow Americans you’re willing to accept to save, say, 1000 jobs. For context, we’ve lost around 461 jobs for every 1 death so far. What’s *your* Death Number?

I once demanded people give me their acceptable death count to go back to work in order to be deemed credible in the conversation. Today I see no options but to accept the death toll (whatever) that comes from opening. It is what it is.

That’s an honest assessment. I don’t agree with it, but I comprehend what I imagine to be your reasoning. If your statement is based on the reasoning I think it is, then it’s not a monstrous view. It’s a sad one. But it’s your personal balance of competing interests/implications.

I'd argue it's a monstrous (and foolish) view.

I think he *thinks* it saves lives (not monstrous) in the last analysis. I don't agree. But that's my assessment of his assessment.

Foolishness can be monstrous when you don't heed the wisdom of others and use your power in ways that harm. E.g. parents abusing children by keeping them from proven medicines despite what doctors have said. Their intentions might be benevolent but morality is more than intent.

Why don’t you tell me your preferred plan and how it differs from mine. Include estimated deaths please.

Stay home orders lifted once we deploy public health systems able to test, contact trace, and support those in isolation/quarantine. Estimated US deaths in the hundreds. What is yours? Is it still, uh, this?https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1251907216191262725 …

Or are you still only focused on preventing hospitals from being overcapacity? Flattening the curve with the same area under the curve is not the only option. Have you ignored the public health experts saying that we can halt transmission?https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1255167971334303745 …

No public health officials believe the virus can be halted. People get that wrong.

So you’re not familiar with contact tracing, health officials like
@ScottGottliebMD@ASlavitt, experienced practitioners like@JoiaMukherjee, and researchers like@gregggonsalves? Maybe you should be more responsible with your platform, and speak with less unearned confidence.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like - Show replies
