| Our Witchdoctor |
Dr. Tony Fauci testified yesterday in the Senate that he was chary about reopening our economy and we should not reopen our schools in the fall until we had a vaccine or an effective treatment for COVID-19. Such strictures would result in likely serious societal and economic damage. This policy “suggestion” forces the following poser for all you dear readers over the age of 60:
Assume that cautiously reopening our economy now ... and sending our children back to school in September ... meant that YOU would have about a 20% chance of contracting this virus and then a 5% chance of dying from it ... would you go along with our this strategy ... in order to avoid the clear and lasting country upheaval? (In other words around 1% of our seniors would die ... maybe one million.)
I am not trying to virtue grandstand on this issue, kind reader, but I think I would agree to this gamble ...
