@JamesSurowiecki A herky-jerky response could conceivably be worse. But, of course, delaying infections allows you to benefit from new drugs/therapies that are developed, a vaccine, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesSurowiecki I don't think it's a bet on reducing deaths. It's a bet that herd immunity is inevitable and/or too costly to avoid, therefore you get it over with as quickly as possible but with the constraint that it isn't so quick as to overwhelm hospitals and nursing homes. — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesSurowiecki So when I see Swedish authorities expressing surprise at the death toll, I wonder if they're being facetious. Their fatality rate as a share of the number of infections they *claim* to have (they claim 30% infected in Stockholm) is actually fairly low. — PolitiTweet.org
