I part ways with Eric as soon as he starts into astrology, but on the virus he has pretty much done his homework.

Conclusion the lockdown is obviously not working.  Further it is damaging the economy as well as not working.  Those sorts of results would make most people question if opening back up and letting it run its course is not a better option.  Maybe if there was some country that tried that.   *Glares at Sweden*

The actual conclusion to the article is as follows.

Quote:While New York may have the virus “on retreat,” Cuomo again warned against acting too fast.

“It reinforces what we’ve been saying, which is: Much of this comes down to what you can do to protect yourself,” he said. “Everything is closed down, government has done everything it could, society has done everything it could, now it’s up to you.”

That's pretty much the blue line, the line of those who value life over dollars.  It is the vantage point of Cuomo, one of those at the forefront of the blue perspective on the virus.

Now, telling the difference between someone who lies and someone who chooses to live in a fantasy world to support his values is hard.  I don't generally come down hard one way or another.  I just point out that both are bad.  

In the case above, lying about the conclusion of the article, it is hard not to come up with a conclusion.
