Over at Power Line, John Hinderaker links to an interview (not
quite an hour long) with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford Medical School for
Uncommon Knowledge. Mr. Hinderaker's closing comments,
based on the interview:
The conventionally posed choice
between fighting the disease and salvaging our economy is entirely wrong. The
choice is not disease vs. economy. The disease is here, and there is nothing
governments can do to stop it. (They can, of course, close down access to
nursing homes, a mixed blessing if you are elderly.) The real choice is between
the disease with a flourishing economy, and the disease with a devastated
economy. The disease is a constant.
