Bottom line? "Grave" is probably a pretty apt term for where we are

First, there's Aaron Ginn's Medium piece entitled "Evidence Over Hysteria." Medium has since taken it down.

Madeleine Fabic has done a peer review of it which explains why that was a sound decision:

The author, Aaron Ginn, a Silicon Valley self-described “technologist” who has written for Breitbart, re-posted to a website called ZeroHedge. In short, this post was exceptionally problematic and I’m glad that Medium has taken it down because it is such a flawed reading of data that gives readers incorrect information and the wrong take-aways.
Read her entire piece.

We have to be responsible here. We have not reached peak menace.

I understand that we have brought our entire society to a halt and the economic fallout is devastating. Don't I know.

And I understand that the status quo cannot go on in perpetuity, that it will lead to a depression and civil unrest.

But serious minds insist that it has had to be. Doctors Brix and Fauci are not blowing smoke.

Thank God such minds are on the case here. We need a voice of authority to refute the Very Stable Genius's claim that hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin taken together are a sure-thing way out of this crisis ("gamechangers.)" We know no such thing.

We're going to see millions of Americans die soon.

To not stay in our homes at this time is nothing short of reckless. That's the key to keeping the particular number of millions to a minimum.

No one likes this. But let us realize that, being Americans who have grown up during a time of historically unprecedented convenience, comfort and safety, we're all easily tempted to think a quick solution is coming and that we'll soon be back to maneuvering through an American life that looks just like it did prior to this.

That's not what's going on here, folks.
