Wanting better data is akin to asking for a better divination professor.

I quit; this has become Motte Bailey at such an extreme that all I can do is promise to never wear a white suit and go on Foxnews.
Everything I said was the right thing after I reframe what I said to what we should have done given the knowledge that I know now.
Confusing- yeah, me too.
Confusing- yeah, me too.
Just to be clear, I told JFK not to get into the car in Dallas, I also advocated not to go into Vietnam, and told Chamberlin to go after Hitler.
Catch-22; we communicated the IFR wasn't as high so a lock dow wouldn't be able to be implementable. However, a lockdown would have stopped it and saved a million people. However, you couldn't lock down because it wasn't that bad.
Flippant --> True. Was it 10,000 who were at risk of dying or 100,000's? I'm having difficulty remembering after your rewriting of your narrative.
I need to stop; this is getting unhealthy. I'm about to start wearing a black suit with a green tie.
I agree w/this and add that diminishing the virus likely lengthened the time of lock down, which worsened this problem. So yeah, the counterfactual isn't so straight forward.
@RogueRad asked tough questions. Some that I wish he had asked:
1. Do you have any regrets about publishing?
2. Your Santa Clara study received much pushback? Do you regret releasing a preprint? Do you regret promoting it on an international level following pointed criticism?

End note: did one of the most published authors in recent memory complain about not being able to publish something?
Me: no response; counting unpublished papers on my hard drive.
