Spot on analysis CNM.

But you will find you are in the minority here at good old FR. Many here believe that the shutdown was a big waste of time and money and we should just be more like Sweden.

The fact that you understand that the shutdown was a delay to keep the health organizations from overloading is exactly right. It delays. It does not eliminate.

Your remedy, ACQ and Zinc is also correct but I remain doubtful that we have the will and perhaps even the means to implement it in the sort term. But I would take the pills in heartbeat.

how to prepare the public for this inevitable new wave of illness and death WHEN our economy MUST inevitably reopen.

This premise is flawed. So the analysis is worthless.

actually, i didn’t think i endorsed the shutdown one way or the other, but just pointed out what so-called public policy makers claimed ... probably lots of other things i wrote will be disagreed with, though ... and if folks here have good counter arguments that’s fine ... of course, most now just shoot off their mouths here with one liners these days ...
