If I understand correctly, you're saying you don't need to be informed why we're sheltering in place, you just trust that it's in your best interests?

No but on that point, if we knew the exact odds of being infected in any random encounter and each individual were in charge of making risk calculations and just going about their business, would we all be better off?

Then I don't follow, your argument. My point is that it's a doctors job to explain the treatment options to you, not to just do whatever they think is best. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing?

I'm saying that your analogy is trying to frame CVD as a discussion between a doctor and a patient, when the closer analogy is between an Epidemiologist and a large, vulnerable population.

It just happens that we have a real life example of epidemiologists and a large, vulnerable population to point to right now - and what people are doing is mostly accepting "There's a big risk here, wash your hands and stay inside" as the totality of what they need to know.

yes. And what
@taviso is saying is that for some people, that's not enough. And I think CD vs FD comes down to "is there ever a case where one is clearly right?" And the answer is: it all depends on your point of view, and so every answer is terrible.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

You've reached the conclusion from the original Tweet that I posted, which was that both parties are right and it depends on whose outcome you're optimizing for.

I wasn't arguing with the conclusion, you characterized full disclosure as "every man for himself", which is just wrong.

Ah. Well to that specific point, I acknowledge that it's much more complicated than that. I oversimplified b/c 240 chars.

I'd give
@0xMatt the benefit here, actually. Something like 99% of US Businesses are under 100 employees? That's maybe 1 IT person, and no security team. They aren't applying workarounds for unpatched vulnerabilities, because they don't have the time. CD helps them.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
Helps them by leaving them vulnerable? That's not the kind of help I want. Inaction is a viable option under any disclosure policy, but now you can make an informed decision instead of having your hand forced by a self-interested vendor.
