IS IT TIME FOR A NEW PANDEMIC APPROACH? Karl Dierenbach, writing for the Independence Institute’s Complete Colorado, makes a compelling case. Here’s a sample:

“But ‘flatten the curve’ morphed into ‘hide until solution;’ the solution being a possible vaccine or effective treatment at some undeterminable point in the future. States that never saw a surge went into lockdown and remain there today.

“New York City, which is well past their peak medical usage, remains on lockdown. Many states that are ostensibly opening up are doing so at an extremely slow pace. Colorado, which is supposedly opening up (but not really), is attempting to keep the coronavirus cases at a level that is so low, herd immunity might not be reached for years.

Dierenbach is an attorney and a former engineer. He’s also quite a good writer, which is rarely found among engineers, especially when they also become lawyers (Just kidding, Glenn!).
