As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical, and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.
Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted our careers to protecting people. Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice.
Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.
Fortunately, our understanding of the virus is growing. We know that vulnerability to death from COVID-19 is more than a thousand-fold higher in the old and infirm than the young. Indeed, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza.
As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls. We know that all populations will eventually reach herd immunity – i.e. the point at which the rate of new infections is stable – and that this can be assisted by (but is not dependent upon) a vaccine. Our goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity.
The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk. We call this Focused Protection.
Adopting measures to protect the vulnerable should be the central aim of public health responses to COVID-19. By way of example, nursing homes should use staff with acquired immunity and perform frequent PCR testing of other staff and all visitors. Staff rotation should be minimized. Retired people living at home should have groceries and other essentials delivered to their home. When possible, they should meet family members outside rather than inside. A comprehensive and detailed list of measures, including approaches to multi-generational households, can be implemented, and is well within the scope and capability of public health professionals.
Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal. Simple hygiene measures, such as hand washing and staying home when sick should be practiced by everyone to reduce the herd immunity threshold. Schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching. Extracurricular activities, such as sports, should be resumed. Young low-risk adults should work normally, rather than from home. Restaurants and other businesses should open. Arts, music, sport and other cultural activities should resume. People who are more at risk may participate if they wish, while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity.

Relinquish presidency cos sniffles
BS. Herd immunity brought to you by derpderping quacks.
Try that with polio derp.
he was in the hospital all weekend. You're calling Trump a pussy, derp.
Moar machinations
You called Trump a pussy, derp.
Own it.
Quote it.
Do you think Trump should have spent the weekend in the hospital for what you call sniffles, derp?
Yes or no.
Let's settle this once and for all.
Or you can fold.
So, no quote; only moar machinations and tears.
derp folds
derp thinks Trump is a pussy for going to the hospital for what derp says is sniffles.
Prove me wrong.
BlakeBlaking won't get you W's.
Get a hold of yourself.
Damn right it's my W.
Get a hold of yourself.
Get a fold of yourself, derp.
Desperate clinging to severity of covid out of hatred for Trump pretty much sums up the left right now. It seems like they feel like they are endorsing Trump If they question it.
?
COVID is serious.
Weirdo.
That's not science, that's opinion. They can certainly write a paper about it, show their evidence and have it peer reviewed. That's science.
That's opinion supported by opinion.
So then, study conclusions unsupported by other conclusions, so long as they agree with your prior assumptions, are scientific?
No, that's a fact, actually. That's how the scientific process works, based on empirical data.
yeah, that made no sense at all. Another drive by post that wasn't thought out.
Derp is clueless about science and peer review.
He should get a hold of himself, per se, PAR, SMH, derpderping. Plus derp is wearing out his mentions for help as his butt lickers are out of saliva.
lol derp just got murked
