Agreed. It’s hard to know if any of this goop is statistically meaningful. There’s a lot of noise, and half of the people conducting these “studies” are below average (assuming gaussian distribution).
My comment was sort of tongue in cheek.
There are many studies that should be conducted if our goal is truly to learn so we can deal with it instead of promoting an agenda (a la climate change).
My personal opinion was we could have done just fine dealing with this in the same way as has been done every epidemic before tests. If you go back I remarked at the time that testing didnt make a lot of sense, it just introduced confusion and chaos unnecessarily but somebody decided to offer tests to everybody and it was a political football after that. Now notice testing has been handed of laterally to the Governors which was a very wise move. Let them deal with demands form the media.
