The looming shadow of hunger over our United States

@mriana You seem to have missed this part: “Experts warn that deaths from secondary impacts — poverty, hunger, diseases, and violence exacerbated by the pandemic — may dwarf the number of those who die of the novel coronavirus itself.”

This is only one of several reports from serious academics, not quacks. It is counterproductive to perpetuate the view that doing anything other than enforcing lockdowns, eroding our quality life, and turning everyone into coronaphobes, is “anti-science”. Anything that can save lives and our standard of living matters, which means it’s about far more than the reductionst recommendations of virologists alone e.g. PPE, vaccines, physical distancing, and lockdowns.

From a conceptual perspective, the following video on reductionism vs. holism might help. However, don’t assume that I advocate one perspective over the other. Both approaches have value. So we should be maximizing our use of both, to save more lives than either approach alone can.
