Something odd going on at one of my favorite websites, Power Line. Two of the senior guys seem to be in more than a little disagreement about Covid-19.
Paul Mirengoff weighs in with discouraging numbers, which strongly suggest the disease keeps on killing Americans at a serious rate right through May. Meantime John Hinderaker is all for opening up the economy and getting the country back to work.
If we could figure out how to keep the coronavirus from killing those who get sick, then opening up the economy would definitely make all kinds of sense. Treatment modalities don't appear to have achieved that level of success yet.
While recognizing the economic impact, I'm with Mirengoff this time. The fact that I'm not young could have something to do with that caution.
