Whitmer extends stay at home order under May 28th
How's everyone feeling about this?
It’s amazing to me the amount of weak minded people out there who somehow want to give the government more power
From an interview with Knut Wittkowski, Senior Research Associate, Rockefeller University
"What you should do, however, and what wasn't done in the United States, is to protect the elderly. From the experience in Italy we already knew that the vast majority of people who die, are people in their 70s, 80s and 90s, who have comorbidities. So, that was nothing new when it also happened in Seattle. We had the very early experience in Seattle of a couple of old people with comorbidities dying in a nursing home. At that point in time, one should have isolated at least the nursing homes, pay the nurses and everybody working there overtime, so that they can stay there for three or four weeks.
Sorry, my voice is breaking because I think that is a tragedy. This opportunity was missed. Instead, people were isolating the children who were not at risk at all. We still don't really know whether children are infected or not, and if they are infected, they never, or virtually never, develop a phenotype.
To isolate those who are not at risk and put those at risk who are at risk, is a catastrophe. It's a human catastrophe that should never, ever have happened."
