I did my gut check with local Facebook groups this morning, and indeed, one person had posted an article about getting to herd immunity was immediately jumped on with "so you want to kill grandma, you murderer!". Reality is we have to open up, but with preparation and caution.

“Çok da şeyapmamak lazım” demişler resmen. Bana mantıklı geldi argüman.

If I’ve understood the article correctly, it says that the only strategy we have, absent a vaccine, is herd immunity. But what about
#TestTraceIsolate? As per South Korea? If we isolate clusters & trace contacts, offers a third path. -
See especially what
@devisridhar has been saying about the real risks of herd immunity. Incredibly hard to control & protect most vulnerable, and means we’re accepting a huge death toll, while waiting for the vaccine.https://mobile.twitter.com/devisridhar/status/1249049959149813766 … - Show replies

If I could for even a moment trust the populace to broadly understand the necessity of social distancing and practical applications of it then I could believe the strategy would work, but I fear that as soon as any re-opening begins people will do stupid things 1/2

"Flattening the curve" is critical because it lets the health care system keep up with the demand for care & treatment of infected people so fewer people die. This calls for managing the rate of infection through social distancing until wide-spread testing is implemented.

I don't understand why it's presented as an alternative to "flattening the curve". The outcome is is still a flatter curve, but one that wobbles instead of falling towards zero (which is unlikely in practice).

So much was closed because people couldn’t understand there are degrees of isolation and distancing, re-opening is a Pandora’s box. Of course it has to happen, but a lot of public education is needed and proper expectations set. 2/2
