Thank you for this feedback--and the compliment--Leyan! Next week I'll be summarizing what I've heard so far and give a brief thought on my rationale for thinking about a change. Thanks again!
You wrote, "Something interesting to me here is that education employees appear to be about as frequent a source of infections as restaurants and bars. In past issues, I had suggested that I think that indoor dining should have closed before schools in New York. Having seen these data, I now think that perhaps both should have been closed at the same time. Can’t argue with data."
Can I argue with your reasoning? Priorities matter. Schools are *more important* than eating in badwording restaurants, and for that reason could and should be allowed to remain open even when they represent some risk, even when indoor dining is forbidden.
I don't think you're arguing with my reasoning here at all. I've expressed before, and continue to express, that if schools are closed, indoor dining absolutely should be closed as well. The data suggest to me that closing them at the same time might have similar beneficial effects on controlling spread of disease, which is what I'm commenting on here. I'm not a sociologist, economist, or politician. I'll have to leave the value judgments to those folks.
A newsletter 3 times a week still sounds great! I’m amazed at how many words you write every day!
