Many more have been infected by the virus than originally thought which actually lowers drastically the death rate figures. We have data now (April 30) that shows we need rational steps, not panic. The frail and elderly still need to be careful--but that was always the case with flu and pneumonia. Suicides go up with unemployment; so does domestic violence. Heart attacks and other health problems have increased There are tradeoffs for the drastic measures we have taken.
It makes you wonder what is motivating the governors of Illinois, Michigan and California and a few others. Politics? Money? Power?
From the beginning, Dr. Ioannidis has been urging caution, saying we don’t have enough data on this virus. Now there is much more, and still the governors are making bad decisions. Now, it is no longer ignorance but something more serious.
