Very well known Exeweb poster
I try not to take much notice of what comes out of his cat's anus of a mouthCareful LOG. This is exactly what The Donald was saying the other day. Some way down the line with the benefit of hindsight we may know, or maybe not. Judgements will inevitably take advantage of hindsight; and as you rightly say how this thing has affected individuals will play its part.
The problem with following the expert is that his remit may be very narrow.
"How do we best try to defer this virus from swamping the NHS ?" and "What are the longer term economic and health costs of accepting your expert advice ?" are quite different questions. The medical and science expert will say the economic assessment is for others to make. As you say, maybe for another thread.
I concur with you, they are two very different questions - a short(ish) term humanitarian one and a longer term economic one.
Anyway, back to the football theme...
