Yes, but the deaths are such a lagging indicator that it makes action even that much more behind the curve. |

At some point we need to say the open up crowd was correct. It won't happen but should. |

In terms of tracking the progress of the pandemic new cases is a fairly useless number in and of itself. The only thing that matters, as it relates to new cases, is the daily % of those tested that have tested positive for the virus. That should be a far more relevant number than gross new cases especially when the rate of testing is increasing at a vastly more rapid rate than detected positive cases. As mentioned earlier, in terms of the muddiness of the reporting, it would also seem to only make intuitive sense that any antibody tests and their results are parsed out of the reported new daily tests and cases. Track them separately but leave them out of new daily tests and cases given the fact they may have had it a couple of months ago is irrelevant to the daily count.

This is a false dichotomy. The debate was about the timing and magnitude of relaxing restrictions, not whether it should be done at all.
