Dr. Jay Bhattacharya: Tough Questions / Tough Answers

One of the most important and honest Covid-19 interviews to date.

“The lockdown is not a mechanism for disease eradication. It will only delay when the disease happens. You pay the cost now or you pay the cost later.”

– Bhattacharya

Personal Commentary:

In this interview (data-based, apolitical, and painfully honest) they solemnly agree that it is essential that we (carefully) come out of quarantine. They present the fact that *with* or *without* quarantine the disease will run its course. Because of the quarantine we have extended the timeline of that course. Indeed this was the entire purpose, not to overwhelm the hospitals.

Well, that issue has come and gone, and the hospitals were spared, thank God. We did such a good job that many of them are going bankrupt! (Of course that is also due to the fact that the virus is not nearly as deadly – for the healthy – as originally assumed.) Now we have to figure out what to do moving forward.

When one considers the extra trouble *general* quarantine (ie. quarantining everyone) has & will continue to cause, it makes sense to isolate the high-risk, carefully protect them (like paying healthy nursing home personnel huge bonuses to stay locked-down *inside* of the institutions) & start the job of rebuilding the global economy.

We can do this… we must.
