End the Shutdown

There's a lot of people that just want to end the shutdown. Most of them for good reasons. There's a lot of people that just want to end the shutdown. Motivations vary: speeding herd immunity, not fearing the disease (looking at numbers of asymptomatic cases or death rates), just recognizing the harm to the economy, the questionable value over social distancing, or costs to people. Authoritarians don't care. Authority matters more than human rights. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2020-04-26

The left screams that it could only be because others are selfish and put their agenda above old/at risk people. In psychology, this is known as projection: people accuse others of doing what they are doing.

Many of those want to burn the economy down for political reasons (it fits their agenda), so they assume that others are like them and doing it for selfish reasons. But the facts are there are many informed Scientists, Economists, Epidemiologies and healthcare workers (including doctors) that think the shutdown cure is worse than the COVID disease. Those that deny the shutdown is unsustainable are denying science.

• Germany's BILD (largest Newspaper) says Shutdown was a huge mistake, quoting noted German pathologist: “In the end, COVID-19 is a viral disease like the flu, which in most cases is harmless and is only fatal in exceptional cases... Of the approximately 180 deceased with coronavirus that we have now examined, all suffered from severe pre-existing conditions and were not children or adolescents. The COVID-19 infection was the straw that broke the camel’s back.”
• Professor Knut Wittkowski spent twenty years as head of The Rockefeller University's Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design: open up. Rockefeller University disagrees.
