“Overall this was an excellent look at the science which has emerged from the past three months. I believe the best information here is that which leads to understanding future outbreaks and how public policy could be better. Where the panel drifts is when they repeatedly bash the media and the healthcare policy agents for the government. It also falls off when panelists got into constitutional rights statements and other kinds of political side statements.
The panel is made up of mostly clinical physicians, scientists, and hospital or health clinic physicians. The least credible of the panel is the Senator from Minnesota who despite his claims for keeping politics out of the discussion he does. I won’t follow political opinions of doctors any more than I would take medical advice from a politician.
Also annoying is the repeated statement, hyperbolic as it is about how the entire economy is shutdown, it is not! Many people are still working. The entire panel is still working. Furthermore economic advice from doctors is not credible. Those are my complaints. The best part of this panel is the information gathered about the virus and the comparisons to other countries responses. These are not public health policy officials they are health care professionals and experts who form a critique of the public health policy which I am grateful to have access to. Like with any conversation, even that put out by the media, there are things you have to wade through to get the nuggets of comforting information.”
