If like to see him get ventilated. Up against a wall.
As a not too thoughtful uninitiate, whenever I think of the science of economics I get an image of the old physics joke where the truck driver with a load of live canaries gets out of the truck every fifteen minutes to bang the side of the truck so all the birds don’t land at once.

I hate that people are thinking it’s only going to the elderly that die (which is still awful even if it were true). So many others would die too. It would be my 8 year old nephew who has cystic fibrosis. My 17 year old student who has fairly severe asthma, could even be his little sister who has cerebral palsy. It might be my husband who takes immune lowering drugs to manage an autoimmune disease. Could be my 5 year old daughter who was born premature and whose lungs aren’t the best because of it. It definitely would be some of the kids who were in the NICU with her who were born so early they have chronic lung disease. Could be the kid I know who had open heart surgery before he was even one. Could be my friend’s newborn who has down syndrome.
No one can tell me risking those people’s lives will be worth it.

From the article:
The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board, however, slammed Medium’s decision and urged platforms not to “require conformity with the judgment of expert institutions, even as many of those institutions themselves woefully misjudged the situation months or weeks ago.”
The rot runs far deeper and farther into the mainstream than The Federalist.

The WSJ op-ed pages has been a fever swamp of right-wing craziness since before Murdoch bought the paper. It stands in contrast to the normal reporting, which tends toward the actual dry facts that corporate types want.
