A number of callers to KIT's Morning News show have suggested push back against the most dramatic efforts to separate people. In their minds confidence is lacking in the numbers, the government and the media telling the stories.
Loannidis questions how school closures and some of the other extreme social distancing efforts will work compared to the actual financial damage we know is being done to the economy, "If the level of the epidemic does overwhelm the health system and extreme measures have only modest effectiveness, then flattening the curve may make things worse. Instead of being overwhelmed during a short, acute phase, the health system will remain overwhelmed for a more protracted period. That’s another reason we need data about the exact level of the epidemic activity."
The piece is an interesting read that's different from what so many others are saying today and its worthy of your attention as another perspective on the many unknowns of our future and COVID-19.
