CV and mad panic behaviour

[PaulP]

Where there is uncertainty and where you are dealing with an unknown, I would much rather err on the side of caution and be more restrictive. I applaud those governments who have swallowed a few bitter pills and instituted measures that might seem tough, but are trying to save lives. Of course, there is a political element to this, in the sense that governments must appear to be doing something rather than nothing, but the tough love approach in this case is much better than the nonsense dished up in some countries.

The only two ways that the current data is wrong is if the broader scientific community is either corrupt or incompetent.
