I'm not defending the content of the article, but Stadler's original was published in "World Week" (Swiss magazine with which I am not familiar). This is just a translation that someone decided to post on Medium.

My argument wasn't against medium. My argument was against a scientist using a non scientific journal to argue that we're all freaking idiots and don't know what we're doing, while making broad unsubstantiated claims from a wet bench, disconnected from patients. So, not impressed either way.
I wish I were in Switzerland though. You're handling the pandemic a lot better than we are.

Yup, waaayyy too hot in the south to do anything outside during the summer other than go to the beach or stay inside. TBH I think closing beaches was a huge mistake. The people who choose close proximity at the beach are the same ones who choose social settings and close proximity indoors. If you want to social distance at the beach it's not hard to do and it's better than hanging out indoors.

If that is the argument then you definitely don't want to start on the west coast and work across the northern border. You won't see good news on the daily case tracker until you hit New York. WA, ID, MT, ND, MN, MI, OH, PA (throw in WI, IN, and IL for good measure) all have cases increasing starting around mid-June. Summer ain't fixing this. Heat, AC, gardening or cold beer in the backyard, whatever the theory, it isn't working.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.
