Flattening the Curve: Overrated?

re:

The low risk population is indeed low risk, but we're not infecting them to build herd immunity in a vacuum.

And now we know that risks of transmission from asymptomatic infections is (apparently) immeasureably low.


In any case, it's a multivar problem and we need to stop managing as if it's a single variable problem. Like the only costs or economic and those economic costs do not result in higher all cause mortality.

To wit"
- Suicide hotline calls up 10x since lockdown.
- nationwide we've a years worth of suicides in the past month (including almost my daughter, stopped short of attempting this time and checked herself in).

- Long been established that all cause mortality doubles for men over age 50 in the 1st year following a layoff. 26% unemployment here in San Dog now.

_ examples of same sort run ad nauseum


There comes a time when you recognize the need to make the hard choice to set condition Zebra throughout the ship and absorb the cost in lives lost in those flooding compartments.

Nevermind the raging success of treatments that in place now.

e.g.

- HCQ/Zpak/Zinc at first suspicion_diagnosis and Prophylacticly to at risk/exposed workers and persons.
- Invermectin study out now showing 98% success rate with hospitalized patients. Viral load seen dropping fast and far in first hours/day.

It's true even if reporting has been suppressed and Lancet paper saying otherwise is complete fraud. Proving yet again the Lancet's diminished relevance and trajectory into obscurity.
