Well, it’s an opinion piece, so that’s not really unexpected, I’d say.

The author is pointing out, correctly, that the “Lockdown” isn’t free of its own costs in human lives and needless suffering. Before the flubros jump in, that doesn’t mean that this virus isn’t terrible, just that we should be weighing the costs and benefits of our response.

To date, in my opinion, the “Lockdown” has done more damage than other approaches that could have been taken, but that’s water under the bridge at this point. But pretending that the “Lockdown” can go on forever, or until we have a vaccine, or until it’s “contained” is just not realistic.

We need a strategy to get people back to work, and we need it now.

Don't feed the trolls.

Danny's strategy is simple: Everyone MUST wear a mask FOREVER.
