#4  Are 'covid toes' a real symptom of the coronavirus?

#3  Yeah, you're coming around.

'Draconian' measures may have been required to mobilize 100 million citizens while data was collected. Fascinating to watch because it worked.

Now the talking head experts, and authentic lab analysts and epidemiologists, have real data (sparse and poorly representative though it may be) with which to work. Data available through a baseline behavior of keep-you're-distance quarantining that was used to define risk profiles.

Without one, we would not yet have the other.

#2  You're incoherent, Skid. Take a breath.

Also, as someone who's very concerned about an elderly parent in a nursing home, your imputation of bad faith is beyond annoying; it's offensive.

The whole point is MORE focus and attention on and MORE protection for the truly vulnerable i.e. the elderly. As opposed to the crude and draconian approach that makes no distinction based on behaviors or risk profile.

Save the lives of the most vulnerable. Stop risking lives for those suffering from nonCOVID urgent conditions. Stop killing the economy. Win-win-win.

Read Mitch Daniels' announcement.
Read Joe Nocera's wise editorial in Bloomberg.
Listen to Dr John Ioannidis or any of dozens of epidemiologists and scientists who are now speaking out and advocating more or less the above approach.

I submit the above is more worthy of your time than attacking other R'burgers.
