Not even close. He tried to argue that “unstable” patients could be people just walking around with a fever because the number of unstable patients didn’t fit his narrative.

He’s the opposite of the doomsayers to the point of aggravation. It’s a form of virtue signaling where he is trying to portray a sense of superiority for not worrying about anything.

That's true though. "Stable/unstable" are not really medical conditions as far as I understand.

His "narrative" appears to me to be much more aligned with a rational and logical thought process than those who want to shut the world down.

I think you're reading way too much into it. Why are some people so bothered when someone tells them not to panic?

To be fair, that's not what I did nor what caused the spat last. I said I don't believe all critical/serious condition cases = ICU equivalent cases. I didn't think that would be remotely controversial.

Poker_hog and I make a good team. We're like the upper and lower bounds of how this will end up. Aggravating one another for the good of the lurkers in the thread is a nobel act.

I worry about plenty. I simply think that worry should come with some perspective.
