Here’s the real failure: Public policy must never be one-dimensional. The time of failed leadership at the state level must end, or we are committing national suicide. Here's the latest key empirical evidence to guide re-opening: https://bit.ly/3dXJQl7 

There has been a failure to remind everyone that the stated goal of the policy — total lockdown and whole-population isolation — has been accomplished in most of the United States, including the epicenter of New York.

There has been a failure to reassure everyone that we fully anticipate more cases will occur, whether we test or not, with continuing relaxation of today’s isolation.

There has been a failure to educate the public that the overall fatality rate is not only far lower than previously thought but is extremely low in almost everyone other than the elderly.

There has been a failure to clarify to parents the truth about the extremely low risk to children, and that has accompanied a gross failure to offer a rational medical perspective regarding schools reopening.

We must not forget that total lockdown — not the virus — is generating catastrophic harms.
