Biden COVID-19 Advisory Board Member: Time to Shut Down Indoor Dining, Gyms, and Home Gatherings<\/a><\/p>\n

During a Fox Business Network interview, Biden COVID-19 Advisory Board member Dr. Celine Gounder said we need to target \u201cplaces that we know are big contributors to transmission are indoor restaurants, bars, gyms, and also private social gatherings of friends and family in the home\u201d for closures. On the plus side, she is suggesting this as an alternative to shutting down the whole country. She also said the \u201cdraconian lockdowns\u201d the country did earlier were a mistake. Instead, the country should,<\/p>\n

\u201cbe much more targeted about how we tighten up some of our measures. I think of it like a dimmer switch, whereas before we had an on and off light switch. So, we can dial up and dial down in a much more granular fashion. So, some of the places that we know are big contributors to transmission are indoor restaurants, bars, gyms, and also private social gatherings of friends and family in the home. So, those are really the places we need to target for closures while keeping other services, for example, schools that are \u2014 have not been major contributors to transmission, they\u2019re not zero-risk, but they are much lower risk, and they\u2019re an essential service. And so, we\u2019re really prioritizing keeping schools, for example, open.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While we definitely don\u2019t want to go the lockdown route, there are big problems with this type of thinking as well. For example, while there are\u00a0studies saying different things<\/a>, there is a lot of evidence that\u00a0COVID-19 IS NOT spreading in gyms<\/a>. Will a Biden administration destroy the restaurant industry, gyms, bars and challenge the 1st Amendment protections for churches based on\u2026.what exactly? Models that have been proven wrong over and over? Educated guesses that have also been wrong over and over? If you\u2019re looking for definitive scientific evidence for what she\u2019s suggesting here about where the coronavirus is spreading, you aren\u2019t going to find it. You\u2019re going to find a mishmash of different studies and guesses pointing in different directions that we are years away from being able to sort out.<\/p>\n

One of the problems with these out-of-touch elites is that they feel very comfortable and confident about making decisions that destroy other people\u2019s lives \u201cfor their own good.\u201d They don\u2019t think you \u201cneed\u201d to go to church or to the gym or see your family, so it\u2019s out. What they don\u2019t understand is that the best person to make decisions for you is YOU. That doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t make mistakes. It doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t get it wrong. But, nobody knows you and your life better than you and unlike the elites that think they know best, you have to face the consequences if you blow it. Meanwhile, if they wreck someone\u2019s life with a dumb decision, it\u2019s not their problem. This is why they don\u2019t have any business making decisions like this in the first place.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
