Government authorities, advisers and analysts who are calling for a continuation of the near-total lockdown of the economy are ignoring five key facts, contends a former top health official at the Stanford Medical Center.
Dr. David Atlas, now a senior fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution, argued in an column for The Hill that Americans "are now desperate for sensible policymakers who have the courage to ignore the panic and rely on facts."
"Leaders must examine accumulated data to see what has actually happened, rather than keep emphasizing hypothetical projections; combine that empirical evidence with fundamental principles of biology established for decades; and then thoughtfully restore the country to function," wrote Atlas, the former chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center.

AMEN AND AMEN A MILLION TIMES.
I believe his name is Scott Atlas, not David Atlas.
“Let’s stop underemphasizing empirical evidence while instead doubling down on hypothetical models. Facts matter.”

Facts are casualties of political agendas.
Many of us ‘numbers’ guys have been saying the same thing.
The ‘at risk’ people in the USA are the ones who have a very high mortality rate if they get infected.
Whereas, the healthy working age population is getting infected, but they are not experiencing bad outcomes.
Healthy people need to go back to work. Healthy children need to go back to school. Vulnerable people need to keep hunkering down.
It does not seem the solution to the problem is any more complex than that.
Yes, put a big ol’ period after this.
That’s the persuasive sales motto printed on every box of Mozez prune matzos.
Or, like the protest sign I saw yesterday,
LET MY PEOPLE GO-LF!
The Democrats and their Karens have succeeded in grabbing what remains of American free market capitalism by the throat. They will not let go until the free market is dead - or their political careers are.
That’s the persuasive sales motto printed on every box of Mozez prune matzos.

LOL!
Yes. Isolate and protect the vulnerable population and let everyone else get back to work re-starting the economy before there’s nothing left to re-start!
That’s the persuasive sales motto printed on every box of Mozez prune matzos.
Ha! Because there's no time to waste. :)
Add it to the simple messaging that all started right here:
Gen 1.1 In the beginning, Go..
It just makes me sick that this has not been done yet.
