Why the need for “overwhelming” or “compelling”?
You’ve introduced two thresholds for evidence there to artificially and unnecessarily raise the bar. Let’s face it as long as ICU has been below capacity some have never considered the evidence for the restrictions to be overwhelming or compelling ignoring the time lag between cases and hospitalisations.
Get it right once we get it right for good. Get it wrong once and we are back to January. Instead of moving forward slowly we are moving backwards to come back to this point in 2 or 3 months. The economic impact of moving backwards alone is enough to justify moving forwards slowly if evidence far beneath “overwhelming” and “compelling” justifies it.
