Top German scientists:
1. Herd immunity not possible bc immunity too short.
2. Not feasible to go 'shield vulnerable' approach bc impossible to fully identify & isolate them.
3. Potential serious, long-term damage to young/healthy also from this virus. https://www.mpg.de/15426163/stellungnahme-ausseruniversitaere-forschungsorganisationen-covid-19-epidemie

They suggest that what works is:
1. Test/trace/isolate
2. Mask-wearing
3. Distancing
4. Travel restrictions
5. Identifying & stopping super-spreading events.
5. Good guidance to public on what is risky & not.

Receiving notes from those w/ risk factors (asthma, overweight, hypertension, cancer survivors, diabetes) or elderly who are saddened by their lives being portrayed as worthless (ie acceptable loss, would die anyways). Please remember this is not the view of the silent majority.
Massive distraction -> Instead of figuring out how to build a robust test/trace/isolate system and how to incentivise compliance with guidance, we are stuck debating whether we should all be infected with SARS-CoV-2 (*unless you’re wealthy & can easily shield*).
