Read this earlier. This is an excellent article.

In short, Sweden accepts that health care is ALWAYS ABOUT TRADE OFFS.

And they believe that harsh regulations will naturally have positive AND negative deleterious consequences...and intelligently, take both into account.

"Fans of Sweden are right to point out that, in the first phase of the disease, the government had a light touch...But that was not a particularly successful approach. Sweden has a fatality rate of around 60 per 100,000, ten times that of Finland and Norway, which did lock down."

"Swedes’ freedom did not spare the economy, even though many deaths were among elderly people no longer working. Output in the second quarter alone shrank by 8.3%—also worse than the other Nordic countries. A high caseload is bad for the economy."

"Sweden’s new strategy for the second phase converges with Germany’s. Contrary to some claims, this is not dependent on herd immunity...entails rapid large-scale testing and contact-tracing so as to identify and suppress outbreaks early...accompanied by consistent [messaging]"

"Swedish policy is not libertarian, but that the government weighs up TRADE-OFFS of each restriction....when someone tests positive, their entire household must go into quarantine, but schoolchildren are exempt...gains are overwhelmed by the lasting harm to their education."

People are already attacking Siegel as a 'Fox News guy'.

See...this is why I don't believe the Left really believes in science either...just their narrative.

Siegel does work for Fox, but is a Professor at NYU, FACP, etc.

But liberals are going to dismiss him...why?

If your first response is to dismiss someone because of their political or media affiliation...maybe consider that it is YOU that is the biased one.

Just saying.

Siegel may do a good job, or bad job (like Sanjay Gupta, who has done a good job in the past, but been awful of late). But he is a good physician. Just dismissing him without evidence is exactly the kind of thing Trump would do.

If we were consistent, we'd demand Biden perform tests on air too.

Of course, Dems don't want to do that. So there is a ton of hypocrisy here.

Scientifically, there should be a single consistent standard.

As long as that is true, it's fine.

Cuomo's standard was neither consistent nor scientific. That is a clear first amendment violation.

Gorsuch is SCIENTIFICALLY RIGHT HERE.

If people can't admit that, then they are allowing their biases to

This on the other hand is 100% BS.

Not a single scientist I know supports this double standard. The best ones know that the type ofvenue is irrelevant... Only the size and # of people

In short, it is the LEFT here using religious bias to promote an antiscientific standard and allowing the State to violate Rights.

The Liberals and CJJR should be ashamed.

Another good thread here.

A consistent standard would have passed constitutional muster.
