‘Flattening the curve’ is leading to a worldwide depression that will kill more than the virus would have. This is insane.
You really need to read this. If the US don't do a serious lockdown for 3-7 weeks, we are facing a calamity, with millions dead. If we try a shorter, half-assed lockdown to 'save the economy', we doom too many people, then the economy collapses anyway.https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-the-hammer-and-the-dance-be9337092b56 …

Test test test, trace, isolate the infected so you dont have to lockdown the entire population & destroy the economy. South Korea showed us how. Any lockdown should only be long enough to get widespread testing in place, weeks at the most.

Honestly, I'm on the side of the economy at this point. I'm a bit anti social.

Oh, wow. I'd never thought of such a severe solution, but it could work. Unfortunately, I dont have enough faith in people's adherence to think it actually would. https://twitter.com/JoshPhillipsPhD/status/1240840726411444225?s=19 …

I remember, at the time, asking--why aren't we putting in quarantine people who come back from Wuhan/China. The answer was: this is too expensive. Now it looks so cheap!
