Fireside Chat Ep. 130 — Has the Lockdown Worked?
Yet again, predictive computer models fail to predict. The coronavirus variance from region to region appears to contradict those models—and the quarantine and lockdown strategies recommended by experts do as well. What to make of it all? Dennis offers his thoughts.

Watched that this morning. I think one of the profound points he made was regarding the effects of shutting down the US Economy to the extent that we had done on Third World Economies. Here there are safety nets, most of which suck BTW, but as Dennis pointed out, the peasant sewing jeans in Bangladesh probably doesn't get unemployment and his family goes hungry. Being from the world of computer modeling, Experts with Computers are dangerous.

Regarding the virus, I do not see any good peer reviewed literature until at least September. Regarding people, everything they have shut down has just pushed people to where it is legal to be. I have never seen so many people at Harbor Freight and Wal-Mart, you would think everyday is Black Friday. It would be far better to have parks and pools open than all the people bunched up in lines to get into packed stores.
