    Arguing that lockdowns in the US are an overreaction is, at best, mistakenly believing in the counterfactual where the government took the threat seriously early on and advised social distancing and ramped up testing & contact tracing quickly and decisively.

        An approach for confronting #COVID19 that relies more on case containment strategies than broad mitigation (as WSJ advocates) depends on massive screening. It's why lack of screening capacity, PPE, and test supply chain become critical challenges to solve. https://www.wsj.com/articles/rethinking-the-coronavirus-shutdown-11584659154 …

        The sooner we’re out of lockdown the better! Danger of saying it’s an overreaction (https://twitter.com/bgurley/status/1240734760487374849?s=20 …) is general pop starts ignoring social distancing entirely. I’ve seen this happen in the UK with friends/family, as have others:https://twitter.com/tylercowen/status/1241107077021536259?s=20 …

        Ours is a time of intertemporal substitution: "Brits have vowed to hit pubs for a 'last night of freedom' after Boris Johnson announced they would shutdown to fight the spread of the coronavirus."

        If it works it will look like an overreaction but will be the absolute necessary reaction, and we are likely seeing early signs of that

        I agree, and many saying the opposite are young and healthy, thus have no skin in the game. As you said in a thread, cost of inaction is too high to do nothing, so better to “overreact” until there’s better info. OODA

        I work in a grocery store and what I’m seeing is that the working poor are screwed and the wealthy are bored because they are doing their part by self isolating - disgusting
