In concert with DSL's penchant for post about stuff nobody gives a shit about (except you fuckers should) this is very good piece on what needs to done going forward as the COVID pandemic becomes an epidemic. Well, at least folks are writting about what most of us here have been talking about for 3 months. The Cliff notes:
- How to measure COVID disease impact and then use these metrics to establish when to impose and when to ease various mitigation measures.
- In determining which mitigation to measure (duh) ...... evaluate the benefits v. the cost.
- Recognize that disease impact (however one plans to measure it) will vary widely by geographic locations.
- Recognize that disease impact as age related and impose and ease mitigation measures accordingly (fuck yeah .... we've been talking about this here for a month now).
- Recognize that the over 50 population is at the highest risk of more serious cases of COVID and prioritize policy approaches to protect this age cohort.
