Leading up to that, he said "what you want to do is suppress it, not get rid of it completely" because if they take the route of hard suppression soon, they're ensuring a higher peak in the late fall/early winter. The interviewer used "herd immunity," not Mr Vallence, but what he's describing is allowing a steady stream (as opposed to surges) of people to pass through the healthcare system to slowly build that herd immunity, which isn't a bad policy route to take, as it creates more manageability for the problem at hand.


In other words, we were pursuing a strategy of herd immunity.

I'm not sure that's the right characterization. It isn't "let's get all the healthy people sick now," it's more like "let's get as many sick now as we can handle" without exceeding our capacity to tteat.

there's nothing definite in here about current situation, but it's kind of an interesting read and a small look at "some" going-on in the "National Institute of Virology in Beijing" and the person running it.
i'm debating expanding on this, but not very soon.

Richard H. Ebright, a molecular biologist who has been quoted as a coronavirus expert by The Washington Post and MSNBC, said Thursday that it’s possible that COVID-19 leaked from a Wuhan lab.

Deadly viruses have a history of escaping from Chinese laboratories.

The SARS virus escaped twice from the Chinese Institute of Virology in Beijing in 2004, one year after the virus was initially contained.

there is a small rabbit-hole to follow to get to this source of passed issues. but it was released straight from the WHO.

Additional patients in China under investigation for SARS; WHO team travels to Beijing - update 2
26 April 2004


At the request of the Chinese Ministry of Health, WHO is today sending the first members of an international team to help investigate the source of SARS cases recently reported in Beijing and the eastern province of Anhui. The team, which is expected to begin work on Wednesday, will include experts in epidemiology, virology, infection control, and laboratory biosafety.

Results of investigations to date point to laboratory research at the National Institute of Virology in Beijing as the likely source of the outbreak. The institute has been engaged in research with the SARS coronavirus, including the development of a vaccine.

the WHO result is 2003-2004 outbreak, just so no one scims only the last line.

A public option sounds pretty nice right about now, wouldn't you agree?
