Difference between revisions of "Deaths of Accountability"

"What is the real end game of this? Where are we really? When people are talking about reopening back to normal, I have the feeling that almost none of this stuff makes sense. And, you know, my take on "flatten-the-curve" was that we were caught with our pants down with respect to preparedness. And so we were trying to avoid deaths of accountability, which would be triage deaths. So then, you know, the issue was that the limbo bar was so low because we didn't want people dying to show that we were completely incompetent. So everybody should stay home so that we don't have deaths due to triage, as opposed to deaths due to the Coronavirus." ~ Eric on Covid-19, on [https://art19.com/shows/the-portal/episodes/f3267a63-450c-4342-bd91-70637a43784b The Portal Podcast #35], with Balaji Srinivasian @ 1 hr 32 min
