Summary

I get that.”Then came the “but.”“But, look, the fact of the matter is we have people dying — 45,000 people a year die from automobile accidents,” McGraw said. And the fallout is going to last for years because people’s lives are being destroyed.”Look, I’m not an epidemiologist either, nor am I a “Dr.” I am, however, someone who can access the website of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and someone who understands that you can’t contract “drowning.”It's mostly irrelevant, but McGraw's numbers on swimming pools are pretty far off the mark. It would be a pain and would lead to other problems, but it would be something that had to be done, barring other solutions.McGraw’s comments came about 24 hours after another television doctor, Mehmet Oz, appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program to similarly discuss reconsideration of coronavirus containment efforts.“Let’s start with things that are really critical to the nation, where we think we might be able to open without getting into a lot of trouble,” Oz said. And, you know, that’s — any life is a life lost, but to get every child back into a school where they’re safely being educated, being fed and making the most out of their lives with a theoretical risk in the backside, it might be a trade-off some folks would consider.”This was broadly pilloried, and understandably: flippant suggestions that we might push up the death toll of the virus isn’t the sort of thing that people embrace.
