[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We should not be destroying so many livelihoods for this. Anyone who wishes to is free to stay home as long as they’d like. Others need to be free to earn a living. [b]Nursing home residents should not drive public policy.[/b] [/quote]

That's right, doctors, researchers and scientists should, and they're telling us to keep the economy shut down for now.[/quote]

NO They. Are. NOT.  Not uniformly, and not all across the country.[/quote]

Exactly. This ER doctor who works in NYC says we need to open back up: https://nypost.com/2020/04/27/ive-worked-the-coronavirus-front-line-and-i-say-its-time-to-start-opening-up/

Ignore the fact that it's published in the NY Post. That doesn't change the fact that this is someone with experience working the frontlines. [/quote]

From the article, written by an ER doc in a poor area of NYC:

Third, inordinate fear misguides the public response. While COVID-19 is serious, fear of it is being over-amplified. The public needs to understand that the vast majority of infected people do quite well.

Finally, COVID-19 is more prevalent than we think. Many New Yorkers already have the COVID-19 infection, whether they are aware of it or not. As of today, over 43 percent of those tested are positive in The Bronx. We are developing a significant degree of natural herd immunity. Distancing works, but I am skeptical that it is playing as predominant a role as many think.[/quote]
