> At its heart is the understanding that controlling the virus is the single most important thing right now

You misspelled “belief”.



Apparently this is killing 1000 Americans a day?? I'm not sure what your threshold is...


This stuff is difficult to talk about because most people are not used to clinical reasoning about health outcomes. There are essentially priorities to balance between the COVID group and the other 8000 dying every day. And between the extra people dying right now and the extra people who will die ten years from now, and so on. There’s no way to just point to some “threshold” where you wouldn’t still have to make triage decisions all the time.
