#2 So, taken out of context(?)...
At a time when everyone needs better information, from disease modelers and governments to people quarantined or just social distancing, we lack reliable evidence Yes

Draconian countermeasures have been adopted in many countries. If the pandemic dissipates... short-term extreme social distancing and lockdowns may be bearable. Yes

Three months after the outbreak emerged, most countries, including the U.S., lack the ability to test a large number of people and no countries have reliable data on the prevalence of the virus in a representative random sample of the general population. Yes.

Another academic empiricist, not a field practitioner, wanting more data by putting more of the population at risk.
