[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4472076, member: 18222"] Third link from the top ... perhaps you didn't even look. [URL]https://nypost.com/2020/04/26/science-says-its-time-to-start-easing-the-coronavirus-lockdowns/[/URL] Now, we face another, even greater problem: how to sensibly re-enter normal life. This must be based on what we now know, not on worst-case projections, using facts and fundamental medical knowledge, not fear or single-vision policies. First, we know the risk of dying from COVID-19 is far lower than initially thought, and not significant for the overwhelming majority of those infected.
