Donald Trump: I Will Listen to Doctors but Make My Own Decisions About the Economy
I am following this with interest:

Britain has been taking a different approach from other countries across Europe and around the world by declining to heavily restrict everyday activities or introduce “social distancing” measures. The U.K. strategy is based on the presumption that most people will eventually get the COVID-19 virus and severe measures to contain it are unlikely to work.I have read an article (which I am looking for but can't find at the moment) which discussed some of the science behind this strategy but I am also seeing articles saying it is controversial among experts.

Coronavirus: health experts fear epidemic will ‘let rip’ through UKDoctors and scientists urge government to stop ignoring strategies from countries that have brought cases down
The younger test-positive deceased almost always had severe pre-existing conditions. For example, a 21-year-old Spanish soccer coach had died test-positive, making international headlines. However, the doctors diagnosed an unrecognized leukemia, whose typical complications include severe pneumonia.
If you read the link I posted above, you will see that it is exactly the mortality that is in doubt!Dr. Birx said yesterday at the press conference the most important data point you look at that is essentially irrefutable is mortality data,” Azar said. “How many people are dying from Covid-19? That will be your firmest bit of data in assessing the situation
I have been following those charts daily, hoping to see them begin to level off, but they continue to increase exponentially.
I’m not sure the level of death justifies the collapse of world economies. This will cause more death and despair (to younger fitter people) than the virus.
Right! Yesterday it was reported that Prince Charles (who is over 70) had got COVID-19. This morning on the news someone reassured us that he had a strong constitution and would almost certainly be OK!I’m not sure the level of death justifies the collapse of world economies. This will cause more death and despair (to younger fitter people) than the virus.
I'd propose to do exactly what the expert in the above video proposes!Right. Exposing the world to the numbers I outlined in my post would be a far worse and much longer lasting blow to the global economy. Isn't that rather easy to see?
What are you proposing we should do?
Here is a very interesting video that probably gets very close to the truth. If necessary press the 'cc' button to get English subtitles.

This couldn't be further from the truth Wormwood.But it’s precisely fear and panic that causes economic collapse, not the virus itself.
Okay David.I'd propose to do exactly what the expert in the above video proposes!
