Hunkering down is going to cause people to die -- unemployment, poverty, crime, etc., yet there is no consideration given to this by the experts promulgating policy. How many such deaths are acceptable in support of the economic shutdown to control the virus spread? Some are talking about the end of the year to continue hunkering down. How long is long enough? When do we know we can move on? Are the Draconian economic measures being taken having a significant impact over the hygiene steps we've all learned to take?This has a potential to be far more damaging, on all fronts, if we don’t honker down for just few more weeks.
There are lots of questions like this to consider. The larger point, in my view, is that there is no balance to policy making regarding this virus. That's very scary.
