I look at the plan that's laid out in front of us and think that it's not enough. And that opening up will be more damaging than continued lockdown and preparation. You see the existing lockdown and the damage that it's causing and want it to resolve, optimistic that things will improve going forward.
It's that 6 month vision is where we differ.

The NYC data provides such a wealth of information that it is totally discarded by the media. Can't keep the agenda going with this stuff...
Being conservative and not using the "unknown" column, and using the anti-body test iFR from earlier in the week of 0.56%, the risk of death for a healthy person of *any* age after being infected with COVID is 0.4 out of every 1,000. That is an extremely small number, much less than the risk of death for any age group for all the typical causes. That death rate is even less for the West Coast.
More importantly, the data show that COVID-19 is a disease of those already ill. Even *healthy* seniors have a very low death rate from COVID. The fact that society is destroying itself to protect those with preventable disease, is, quite frankly, criminal.
I'm all for protecting those at risk, but for the love of Christ you can not destroy, and I mean *DESTROY* those that are unaffected and otherwise healthy. That is the policy the government has taken, and it is totally unacceptable.
