   @wjmaggos I'm not sure this article reflects what Jay actually argued but if he said we didn't need to shut things down for any period of time I don't see any argument for that at all. There were literally no hospital beds. the problem being solved was NOT stopping the spread of covid. the problem being solved was keeping people out of the hospital from broken bones playing sports and car wrecks and such.

   hospitals needed to get their PPE situation under control. But how long was that needed?

     This is really good. I love that #JayBhattacharya says that the people who pushed to censor him over his disagreement with the consensus over #COVID policy, thought they were doing the right thing. Doing good. Saving lives. I wish we were a culture that cared more about discussing this hard civic stuff than holding tight to comfortable and simple beliefs, virtue signaling and entertainment.
