Assuming it isn’t a hoax, the drop in cases in Italy and other places can be attributed to quarantine.

But Denninger over at the Market Ticker thinks Quarantines won’t stop the virus anyway. It’ll just come back once the quarantine relaxes, and that the only solution is mass vaccination—a technical impossibility—or herd immunity, the latter requiring us to let the virus go through us while protecting the elderly and the very young, but otherwise returning to our normal daily life so as to avoid an even worse problem: economic collapse.

Though Denninger also has come to the conclusion lately that the virus isn’t nearly as dangerous as claimed and that more testing will show we’re already near the end of it.

The more I hear about the number of positive tests among people with mild symptoms, the more I think that's right.

What they need to do is test a large random sampling of people without regard to symptoms and risk factors and see how many come back positive. If it's a lot, then we know we can call off the shutdowns.

Karl Denninger is a short seller. His hair has been on fire for one reason or another nonstop since at least 2008 when I became aware of him. He profits from panic. He’s not an authoritative source and his opinions are driven by profit motive alone.
