There were not thousands of flights sharing illnesses worldwide every day.
It’s ironic that our solution of new-age social distancing was just old-times daily life down on the farm.
Data is neither evil nor good. Our homage to it is unearned. It needs to be verified and questioned. The models used for the curves are programs written by humans who have made certain assumptions based on their own knowledge and beliefs. This problem is much like FaceBook‘s, Google‘s, and others’ programming codes. All programming is based on human decisions and assumptions. We should not defer to data because it can be right or wrong. Statistical models are not infallible. It is appalling that the models and data were accepted without question. Our press and many of our elected officials have failed to perform their function of checks and balances probably because felt foolishly ignorant so they did not want to speak up & remove all doubt.
