I’m not going to assert that the response has been overblown, but it has been very much based on fear and speculation.
The fact is that there isn’t enough data to support that the measures taken have been absolutely necessary.
I’m not horribly inconvenienced or financially impacted, but i’m Guessing the folks who are will be mighty pissed off if we come to learn that closing so many things and laying off so many people was indeed an overreaction.
Again, i’m Not pretending to know. The governor, etc. is/are.
that bothers me. They’re utilizing fear as a means of control. That bothers me. Millions of people are going to be financially ruined for the better part of the next decade. That bothers me. We’re restricting the freedom of 100% of the country to preserve the lives of 1% and being told it’s for the greater good. That bothers me.
i would like additional data to support the projections on which these measures are being based. The most recent article i read says that confirmed testing might be only accounting for as little as 6% of cases, meaning the lethality rate, and even the occurrence of severe symptoms could be far far lower than we’re being scared into believing.
again, “might.” I’m not advocating making any sweeping changes without more data
