*From John Kirby:* *Dear all, * > > *Our hour-long interview with the great Dr. John Ioannidis has earned over > 200K views. His even-handed questioning of the response was warmly > received, as hundreds of comments suggest. In our second effort, we > interview a scientist who shares and extends Ioannidis’ views, but takes a > brasher approach. We think you will find his point of view exhilarating and > his analysis hard to refute, when considered in light of the evidence:* > > *https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=lGC5sGdz4kg* > <https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=lGC5sGdz4kg> > > *Perspectives on the Pandemic Episode 2: In this explosive second edition > of Perspectives on the Pandemic, Professor Knut Wittkowski, for twenty > years head of The Rockefeller University's Department of Biostatistics, > Epidemiology, and Research Design, says that social distancing and lockdown > is the absolutely worst way to deal with an airborne respiratory virus. > Further, he offers data to show that China and South Korea had already > reached their peak number of cases when they instituted their containment > measures. In other words, nature had already achieved, or nearly achieved, > herd immunity. Professor Wittkowski urges that the schools be open now, so > that the virus may spread harmlessly among the young, and thus shorten the > amount of time the elderly and immune compromised must be sequestered. Our > current course, he warns, will only prolong the crisis and likely guarantee > a ?second wave? of infections in the Fall. * >
