So, to clarify then, do you find his concern (which appears to be exactly your concern about the real threat being economic disaster) to be “stupid beyond words”, or do you find the idea that there is an intention to hide this fact by those pressing the 9 governors remaining to shut down their states “stupid beyond words” though you still agree with the premise, but not the conspiracy.
I’m just trying to clarify where you stand.
I do not agree with Berenson about his conspiracy and I know that you don’t either, but do you still think that this has been a huge overreaction?

It's sacreligious, and none of us are worthy, especially me.
You owe me an apology and you need stop making up lies and posts, posts that don't exist.
You're a fucking patch of barnacles, dude. You, ColeyO, Eli, Neddie - ---
You bunch haven't got an honest bone in all your bodies.

and the government option is what the far Left wing of the Dem party wants. If that recollection is accurate, then I wouldn't be taking any victory laps on that one as being an example of disparaging something that the Left supports.
Well, you're wrong and you make up bullshit all day long. You can't help but lie.
Just like the nimrod you support
So, who appears to be telling untruths here?

We need a treatment breakthrough this month. One of these trials has to work - if they do, this can all end pretty quickly, and the economy can bounce back equally quickly. There is a lot of pent-up demand. We all need haircuts.
The conspiracy theories - in that case, if I remember right, that the CDC needs all states to lockdown so none can be a “control case” - are stupid beyond words.
As is the notion that we all are going to get it anyway so these measures are pointless, or just being done to hurt Trump, or whatever.
...as I have said, I agree that the conspiracy theory of Berenson is not credible to me. But his underlying premise that the greatest threat is to our economy is a far more realistic possibility - and one that you yourself at one time bought into.
2) I truly, truly hope that you are right about finding a cure. It would be the best of all worlds. But I have spent a lot of years in this field, and I just don't see it coming that soon. I will pray for the best, but I simply do not believe that our plans should revolve around putting all of our eggs in the basket of a "magic bullet". Thus, the question of picking the lesser of the two evils becomes relevant - at least for planning purposes at this time which is why i am interested in your answer to question #1.
That model that suggested that without action we would lose 2.5 million Americans should sober us all to the risk.
This thing proved to be far more contagious than anyone thought. Or at least than I thought. It went from just-travelers to everywhere in a blink of an eye.
There is not much that medical science has to offer (yet) as treatment for a patient which has contracted a virus, which is why we have vaccines, which are preventative, because treatments essentially don't exist. If we are relying on a treatment (like antibiotics for bacterial infections), I don't think we should be holding our breaths in the short term. Maybe though, you mean a vaccine development, which will buoy the economy by it being announced and implemented. If that is what you mean, then I agree.
I'm aware that I am on thin ice here, since Baron is an MD, and I am definitely not, so I will welcome correction.
Including some that involve using plasma from those who have had the virus. And some that would be used as prophylactives - helping people fight off the disease.
We now have treatments for lots of viruses, from HIV to flu to Ebola.
Technology & science will deliver us from this plague.
