One possible problem with the 'it's already widespread' articles. Testing should provide the answer, no? Let's wait for that. https://t.co/ubld9nGyHp

Reminds me of the promise, when we deinstitutionalized the mentally ill in the 70s, that they'd be lovingly cared for in humane community facilities. No they weren't. Wishful thinking. https://t.co/93ArhRMOGY

I'm saying that in the Katz/Trump 'protection-for-seniors/relax-for-everyone-else' proposal the 'protection for seniors' part is a fraud. Promises something the government won't deliver on. (So not a point in favor of the proposal!) https://t.co/VL1mJm5HM2

About 16% of the population is 65 or older. Lots (a quarter of the men) have (had?) jobs. Are they going to happily be imprisoned in their homes enjoying the protective, loving treatment of …. who, exactly? Or are they going to go out? https://t.co/XrTgNgARYH

FICTION ALERT: What is this protective and loving treatment seniors–say non-rich seniors living alone–are going to get? Going out will be much riskier. Is a tested/gloved worker going to appear at their door with food and supplies? I don't think so. https://t.co/341sAucrcm

Won't just talking about how soon you're going to relax lockdowns encourage more people to relax NOW? Even if you wanted to do it time for President to talk about doing it isn't a week before 15 days ends. https://t.co/gtS8xKFfzV

Obviously have to open up at some point. But why not wait until we have more a) testing b) information on the virus (incl. numbers) c) beds, ventilators & ICU surge capacity relative to expected surge demand d) therapies? Ideally also until we're past peak (as we hope Italy is). https://t.co/nA2PxAQ7IK

Maybe they want to see their children or grandchildren? Or a nurse? Plus a whole lot of people over 70–eg all of our remaining presidential candidates, Bob Weir, William Shatner, Dolly Parton, Warren Buffett–won't put up with being semi-imprisoned. They'll be out and about. https://t.co/QLMF51RfyF
