It still buys time while waiting for vaccine.

I don't think that's anyone's plan, though. Getting enough time for health system capacity, ramp up testing for effective isolation, time to develop vaccine - there are multiple angles of attack which isolation helps in near and medium term.

Great insights. Two questions: if there is a vaccine will the anti vaxxers be vaccinated? If not, will the TSA run a test on every passenger before boarding?

I’ve read the article and I don’t think he’s saying lock down is pointless, more that this isn’t going to go away in 2 weeks or a month or even 3 months. We need to ride this out as best we can until there is a vaccine.

having read the article, not a great choice of quote. It buys time, which is what we need at the moment in the short term. Medium term, massive amounts of testing.

Yes, undermining the only lever we have at this time - slowing the spread to avoid overwhelming health services - is dangerous.
