For now, social distancing is the best America can do to contain the Covid-19 pandemic. But if the U.S. truly mobilizes, it can soon deploy better weapons—advanced tests—that will allow the country to shift gradually to a protocol less disruptive and more effective than a lockdown.
Instead of ricocheting between an unsustainable shutdown and a dangerous, uncertain return to normalcy, the U.S. could mount a sustainable strategy with better tests and maintain a stable course for as long as it takes to develop a vaccine or cure....
opinion paulmromer Situation is much LESS DANGEROUS NOW THAN EVER BEFORE b/c hydroxy+zpack Goal is to minimize number to critical care/death. Treat everyone w symptoms to minimize death. Trying to avoid critical care and deaths, not cases. Trying to avoid cases would be elusive. Danger seems less
opinion paulmromer This whole thing is a fucking hoax the basic flu kills 50,000 people a year
opinion paulmromer Lmao,I do remember two month ago, WSJ is laughing at other country.
opinion paulmromer First it was testing, we need testing. Then it was look at this scary graph, I mean model. Then OK so the data doesn't fit the curve. Now we are back to testing. Could it be that Covid-19 has demonstrated how vacuous opinion writers and journalists actually are?
opinion paulmromer Agree. Much more testing, faster results. Part of the reluctance to test more widely is not wanting to see the numbers go up dramatically... for political reasons. But that's shortsighted and dangerous. The alternative is waves of the virus moving across the country for months.
opinion paulmromer What took you so long to realize what’s been obvious from day one and has made a difference in South Korea and Germany as you can see?
opinion paulmromer Social distancing is here to stay. End urban subsidies. Forget about public transportation. Make suburbs, small towns and single family housing great again!
opinion paulmromer 10,000,000 people lost their jobs the last 2 weeks... that’s 184 Yankee Stadiums.
opinion paulmromer Duh
opinion paulmromer Not until all the insiders start closing their short positions on the equity markets
opinion paulmromer You're all insane. Actually offensive and this is planet earth not a ball field.
opinion paulmromer Donald J. Trump will be forever set in history as the man whose incompetence and arrogance resulted in the unnecessary deaths of tens of thousands of people. Those who enabled, supported and defended him will share that stain.
opinion paulmromer I bet you this fbi guy will know who i am when i call him!
opinion paulmromer No nation on Earth can test all of its citizens. Nor is it necessary. Slowly allowing regions of the country that have acceptable numbers to return to work under a staggered, methodical protocol that enhances mitigation is the only way.
opinion paulmromer +1 on “lockdowns are unsustainable”
opinion paulmromer Remind yourself that you don't have to do what everyone else is doing...
opinion paulmromer Effective treatment 💊🧪 for actual symptoms 🤒 and self-isolating for all, for at least another 30 days, are needed. Many, arguably most, people with coronavirus 🦠 have no or mild symptoms 😷.
opinion paulmromer Germany tested nearly half s million HEALTHY people so what did that achieve
opinion paulmromer The logical thing to do is to test people for Covid antibodies to determine the level of herd immunity. The tests for viral load are good for currently infected people, asymptomatic or symptomatic but they don’t help with getting people back to normal
opinion paulmromer It will be impossible to test enough people before the unsustainable lockdowns can be lifted. Another grandiose idea that is not feasible. Partial lockdowns (e.g. large crowds) could go on indefinitely. Other activities (i.e. work) must resume. Risks must assessed. Cost/benefit.
opinion paulmromer Testing! Everyday lives are lost. One still trying to reinvent the wheel, when a proven example is already there. Look at a U.K. they da tried Herd Immunity. Bottom line, saving your Forbes ranking than save lives
opinion paulmromer Agreed! I want an antibody test. Want to see if I was exposed. Probably not given the low level of cases around me, but I was knocked out by something for 4-5 days in early March.
opinion paulmromer Until we have this: masks. Mask up, everyone. MasksSaveLives
