| Control of Covid'19 needs the best strategies possible. The consequences of bad strategies are deaths. For six weeks or so, I've been concerned by the appallingly lax response of Western governments to Covid-19. To be blunt, despite claiming to be listening to experts, they are either getting atrocious advice, or they are not attending to the advice they are getting. I've been trying to build my own website to try to explain why the response is too slow, and where it will lead, but it's urgent, and Tomas Pueyo does it better than I could in any reasonable time. Please read it and judge for yourself. As far as I can tell, the information is reasonable, and it is consistent with my own investigations. If it matters to you, I, Bob McKay, am staking my own reputation, as a PhD mathematician, and as a competent researcher with over 200 published papers (albeit in relatively unrelated fields) on this: //I do not believe it is misinformation//. I believe it to be much more accurate than what Western governments are telling us. Please pass this on. If you happen to notice any problems with the link, please let me know. | Control of Covid'19 needs the best strategies possible. The consequences of bad strategies are deaths.

| + | I wrote the above on 15th March, and had been watching our governments' reaction with disbelief since the start of February (yes, even while our own home was directly threatened by bushfires -- I was particularly aware of it because of having lived in Korea for ten years, and spent months in Wuhan over a long period). While our governments have started to react, it is still **too little, too late**. | ||
