Ah. Thank you.
CH is way more correct than Klamala. Median IFR was 0.034%. That means 3.4 out of 10,000 people died from COVID. You know who that 3.4% was? They were the ones that on average had six comorbidities and were on an average of 12 medications. In essence, they were metabolic trainwrecks. Those that fear cold and flu season each year.
Protect them and let the rest of society function.
So you're not going to ignore the embarrassing idiocy of "Don’t even make it public"? Why? It was a stupid thing to post yet he gets a pass. Simply because of a shared ideology?
How exactly would you recommend we "protect the elderly and most vulnerable" as CH stated? Would you infringe upon their civil liberties by forcing them to stay home? Would you pay them? Deliver food and supplies to them? What about the ones in essential or important jobs?
It wasn't as simple of a situation as you MAQA yahoos like to pretend. There was a lot that we didn't know and caution was not a bad thing while hindsight is 20/20.
We didn't have to come up with the ideas. The authors of the Great Barrington Declaration already did that.
For example, in nursing homes you would have isolation periods before a new person is allowed to enter the facility, it's essentially on lockdown, but these would the be highly vulnerable.
Delivery services for those in the house who don't want to leave, etc.
Lastly, a lot was known. We already had SARS1 and go check out your local health department webpage. Our public health has been surveiling Influenza Like Illness (Flu, Cold, RSV, etc) for 30+ years. They knew what they were dealing with enough to have made much better choices.
