8 reasons to end the Lockdown as soon as possible. Penned by doctors. It would be eye opening to do a national survey of doctors and their opinions on this topic and break it out by geography.Our leaders have some tough decisions ahead. It is also why CDC cannot be put in charge of all this. The decision is not only health based, but national security, economic, legal & constitutional. CDC are not elected leaders.Here are their 8 reasons. I find myself supporting some of them, but not all. The suicide element is of great concern.https://medium.com/@jbgeach/eight-reasons-to-end-the-lockdowns-as-soon-as-possible-b7bb0bc94f00
I don't necessary disagree with some of their points, but let's look at the background of these doctors shall we?Dr. Jonathan B. Geach is an anesthesiologist in Loma Linda, CaliforniaDr. Ankur J. Patel is a family medicine doctor in Oswego, IllinoisDr. Jason Friday looks like he is a psychiatrist in Gilbert, AZDr. Lacy M. Windham is an obstetrician-gynecologist in Cleveland, TennesseeDr. Ashkan Attaran is a cardiologist in Visalia, California Jennifer Andjelich, D.N.P. isn't a doctor. She is a nurse practitioner in psychiatry in ArizonaSo no public health background that I can tell. No epidemiologists. Just random doctors of various backgrounds they got to sign onto an article.Or am I missing something?
You aren't.Chicos used to do something similar where he would "appeal to authority" that supported his POV. It didn't matter the credentials/standing of that authority.
Ya. I understand that.I just think when it's a pandemic that is also threatening the global economy, the testing needs to be prioritized to maximize tracing/treatment/return to work. I don't think Ted Turner's nephew's roommate is a priority in the grand scheme.Again, because of the nature of the situation, to me, it's far different that your old guy scenario.

500 economists ...That said, I'm getting a perverse thrill out of watching Cheeks pretend to be a liberal Democrat from the Midwest while regurgitating Fox News talking points. I hope it continues, because at least this Cheeks has left behind most of the other Cheeks' worst tendencies.
Really need the mass production of antibody tests.

So much failure.
The initiative in the article below actually looks helpful:https://www.foxnews.com/science/if-you-think-you-had-coronavirus-a-new-study-might-give-you-your-answerSent email tonight to try to enroll in the study. Think I got through the worst of COVID on a work trip at the end of February... pretty excited to confirm so I can stop Clorox wiping my groceries after they get delivered.

What a unnatural carnal knowledgeing crapshow. Here’s what I don’t understand: unless you’re desperate to be added to the tally, why even go to get tested? Doesn’t everyone hear the same advice ie rest, relax, treat it like the flu and then go to the ER if it gets bad? Why line up for a test the night before when you feel like dogcrap?
