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.

Scott Gottlieb, MDVerified account @ScottGottliebMDAn 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 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 1 like

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 …
