Well, it's a good thing we're not at the bottom of the upward curve or anything.

So everything is fine, so long as we remember that "so far" it's not much.

It will be interesting to see how or if herd immunity works out in the UK.

RE: perspective
I'll be taking a law school grads perspective on science with a grain of salt. If I need someone to own college liberals she'll be high on my list. If I want an alternative angle on the science I'd prefer to read an article from a scientist with an opposing view.

I understand the reflexive anti-expert instinct, I'm a generalist myself. I'll build a house, raise some animals, or tend a garden but for something like this I want credentials.

I'm not anti-expert, I'm anti-panic.
