And that seems to anger a lot of people, as if they are invested in the month they've spent inside. People are strange ...
Two weeks ago, many of them lionized Dr. Knut Wittkowski. But now that his forecast of 10000 (sic!) deaths in the US has proven somewhat optimistic, I haven't seen any followups where he explains what he got wrong in his model, and what adjustments to it he's making.
Richard Epstein is at least making revisions to his estimate, but unfortunately, he's making them retroactively as well: https://www.bradford-delong.com/2020/04/the-hoover-institute...
A few weeks ago, the UK briefly flirted with a herd immunity strategy. Would anybody today argue that these days were wisely spent?
Now, the benchmark du jour is Sweden. Will Sweden still be the benchmark a month from now? Would be nice if it were, but I'm not confident.
The problem is that you really need an advanced country to organize separating people by age (making young people get through the virus without passing it to older people).
The Swedish approach may get them out the other end before any country aside from China and Vietnam, but the Swedish execution did not save lives by protecting the vulnerable.
