It goes back to the "if we handle this right it'll seem like an overreaction" line of thought.
There's a name for that phenomenon that I'm drawing a blank on the name of. And it will absolutely be weaponized as a criticism if/when we get to a point of flattening the curve and limiting deaths.

Sweden is going the other direction. Only quarantining at risk people.
I suspect this is a global cover-your-arse move. These are political decisions, and it’s easier to defend a strong response. It’s easier to spin no matter the outcome because the populace doesn’t understand the economic costs as well as deaths, and the public also has no concept of scale.

Even with all the testing South Korea did, their death rate is running over 1%.
And that's still not worth wrecking our economy over.

The strategy of using tests only on your likeliest and sickest patients has seriously hindered the US and other countries’ ability to make good risk/reward decisions. That is true no matter how this COVID thing unfolds from here.

I agree, how much worse could it be? We will never know. We are already arguing over what ifs and the worst had yet to hit us.
Did the economy suffer? We all know it did. People are also suffering from the disease. How do you balance the two? I don’t know, but that’s the job of our elected officials to make this’d decisions after getting the best scientific advice available.
Then we the people weigh in at the polls.

There are degrees of wrecks ranging from a scratch to totaled. It’s more than a scratch, but it’s certainly not totaled. The event isn’t over, and it’s too early to say how bad it is.

You ignore the line that is literally right under that.

Seriously? You actually believe this? Tell us, how do you get to that figure? How are you accounting for all the cases that aren't "confirmed" because there are no or very minor symptoms? You can't compute the CFR by just using the serious cases in the denominator.
At the end of the day, the actual CFR is going to be well south of .5%.

You act like your stance on this isn't well known

The CFR of this season’s flu is 3.9% if we calculate it the same intellectually dishonest way.

We have had predictions of “we are 8-10 days from hospitals failing”...and that was 2-3 weeks ago.
Then we have statements of “2 weeks behind Italy”...and that is repeated every day for 2 weeks.
Apparently, we are still “2 weeks behind”.
The goalposts keep getting shifted and it pushes people away.
Maybe it's b/c people here have become more aware by practicing proper hygiene and distancing earlier than Italy. Maybe it's we acted sooner and closed down things sooner than they did for fear of becoming like them. and maybe it's b/c we really haven't seen the worst which is true until the day that these numbers peak.
