rationally – I was trying to show you the absurdity of focusing on test positivity results in a vacuum, but I think you went down the slippery slope and stayed there. If only 229 people had been tested and 229 had been positive, then test positivity is 100%, but obviously that doesn’t mean all 8 million people have covid. That means we aren’t testing enough. That’s exactly where we were in March. We were able to test people in hospitals, but we had very little data on what was happening outside the hospitals. If you remember, it was a stressful time. I don’t know why anyone would voluntarily go back there.
As regards the morality of your scheme – if you did succeed in kicking sand in the eyes of health officials trying to monitor outbreaks, then they can’t update guidelines and people won’t know when to be vigilant, so you will be responsible for illness and possibly deaths. You argued that that doesn’t make you a rodef. I disagree. I’m not sure what Sweden has to do with anything. If you deliberately frustrate efforts to put out fires in NY, it doesn’t matter what the fire department in Stockholm does.
