You asked why they should do it at all. I explained why. It is a way to sway people with extremely low resolution understanding of cause and effect to support increased government power. If they really cared about "ending corona" they would explore all the factors involved. But they don't care about ending corona, or they are too incompetent to share meaningful information that would actually effect corona spread.
That's a non-answer that ignores how we became the wealthiest nation. It wasn't by doing the stuff they were doing in Europe.
Competence isn't necessarily about doing the same task over and over. Most repetitive tasks are probably better off automated anyway.
If you care at all about liberty, that's the only take on democracy.

I assume you’re referring to the patriot act. So you opposed the patriot act, I presume because if it was an infringement on peoples rights. Am I correct on that? Even though it could help save some lives and prevent a terrorist attack?
But now you are saying you want the government to do what “the experts” say will be best. To force people to comply with “the experts’” plan.

Now you’re onto something. Presidents and governors shouldn’t have the power to make executive orders. Perhaps that’s the most important thing to push for right now. If we were able to change that, I feel like we’d be in a better position.

EO's have their place, but that is mainly to be a check on legislative power. The executive can tell law enforcement which laws they are to enforce and prosecute under. Most anything beyond that is overreach.

Covid cases have dropped 77% in six weeks. Experts should level with the public about the good news.

"Many experts, along with politicians and journalists, are afraid to talk about herd immunity. The term has political overtones because some suggested the U.S. simply let Covid rip to achieve herd immunity. That was a reckless idea."
No one seriously proposed "let(ting) covid rip". The sensible suggestion was to focus resources on protecting the most vulnerable populations while allowing everyone else with low risk go about business as usual, or taking the precautions they deemed necessary.
I like when people talk realistically about the data, but I hate it when they throw in random little bits of nonsense like this. Like they still feel they have to pay homage to the king of established medicine/public health.

Sure they can, but your socialist brain demands compliance from them. You just don’t like the way they self regulate.
It will be fine

People are stupid. They make tons of irrational self-destructive choices. Left alone we’d be back to hunter gathering in a generation.

So you want to surrender individual rights and forfeit a large portion of your earnings so the centralized planners in DC(people) can dictate how you live your life for you... We should also rig the system so all the stupid people determine by majority vote who gets to run our lives for us..
Do you not see why individual liberty should always trump the whims of the mob? If anything you should be libertarians if you truly believed that.
im in favor of democracy and agree with it will be fine that quite often ppl make irrational decisions

So let’s concentrate decision making in the hands of a few people over spreading out among many people.
This is how people end up starving to death in famines.
