I’ve never suggested that everything be reopened “fast” as you quoted. More false choices. My continued point is that all lives need to be weighed when making policy decisions. You pandemic alarmists don’t want to acknowledge any serious consequences of being shut down.
you're so all over the map! You keep pretending you're "all about the science"... yet all you do is drop go-fetch links favouring click-bait headlines... while never actually adding your own personal comment/interpretations.
your "deaths of despair" angle was all about protecting the economy by lessening the impact of shutdowns... by shortening those shutdowns - by reopening sooner/faster! That's so confirmed by this, your latest attempt to falsely claim "you're all about the science":
This is not wanting to do nothing.
New study, which should’ve been obvious from the start. Hopefully this will be policy going forward, instead of the disastrous one size fits all approach that panic and fear led to in the first place.
Targeted Lockdowns Are Better
A new study finds they save more lives and do less economic damage

=> it's not a study; it's not peer-reviewed... it's simply a working paper from economists that relies upon a model they developed. The economists propose a modeling approach that presumes to find an acceptable mortality rate while favouring preserved economic output - all within a methodology that compares uniform policies applied to all age groups versus targeted policies applied only to high-risk groups...
a targeted approach that has the oldest group of persons over age 65 under complete lockdown until the arrival of a vaccine.
=> your claimed "science" doesn't include any persons with medical/epidemiology knowledge. At least your referenced economists offer a caveat to that end; one adding a, "
caution that their calculations do not take account of many real-world variables and uncertainties, such as economic heterogeneity and factors besides age that affect vulnerability to the virus."
