This is the Great Shining Moment for epidemiologists, virologists, public health academics, etc. These are very smart, very specialized people in esoteric fields, and now they are getting the full Neil deGrasse Tyson treatment for much longer than 15 minutes. They offer valuable inputs on how life should be lived, but by no means the only guidance. I think there's a name for this phenomena but I forget what it is.

Looks up wife of Dr. Fauci ...
Yeah, I can see why he'd be an Al Bundy.
Take some Listerine down south.
Even at that, not all handshakes are friendly....

We’re told in this plague year that politicians have no role—in essence, that the people have no real rights against consensus science, which can demand that we forfeit our liberties and suspend the Constitution. Political leaders, elected to exercise judgment on our behalf, must defer to doctors, because the viral threat is addressable only through medical expertise.
Yet since many liken fighting the coronavirus to war, we should remember that in war admirals and generals defer to civilian authority—to the president, as commander in chief, on matters of strategy and to Congress on matters of budget. This is not a design flaw but how a free people governs itself, even in a perilous crisis. It is how we bring the largest possible perspective to decision-making.
The demands of health-care experts are not greater than the demands of the economy, for a very simple reason: The health-care system is not separate from the economy but a crucial part of it. The health-care system saves lives; the economy provides everything we need to live. The damage being done to the economy—if sustained—could easily cost more lives world-wide than the coronavirus.
It's not going to make it to the middle of May, let alone 2022.
