Two doctors working on the ground not only are questioning the extraordinary shelter-in-place measures being taken with the COVID-19 pandemic, but the system of counting the cases and deaths. No matter how you add them up, the numbers don’t justify the social isolation and shut downs, they say. The numbers are similar to flu — and we don’t shut down for flu.
If that weren’t enough, secondary effects that no one’s talking about will last a lifetime — child molestation, spousal abuse, alcoholism, anxiety, depression and suicide numbers are all going up. These are all real things that are spiking across the country that emergency doctors and health care providers are reporting.
Social isolation isn’t doing your immune system a bit of good, either — and these doctors explain why.
