“People who are still taking COVID precautions seriously have every right to be angry about being abandoned by public-health officials and experts. The very real pain that many people are experiencing has not been sufficiently acknowledged.” -me to TIME

Good article
I agree with the last comment. I don’t necessarily want all the recommendations to be the same as mine
I just want them to tell people what the consequences of their recommendations will be
Like if they said, “We have adjusted our recommendations, so that only 1000+ people a day will die”
“If everyone wore quality masks and had good ventilation, then less than 200 people a day would die [or whatever], but nobody wants to do that“
@AccordionBruce @luckytran @MatWright except of course that every study that has studied mandatory mask wearing has concluded that there was no significant difference in infection rates or deaths at a population level. What I'm saying is that the research backed statement would be "We have adjusted our recommendations because our previous ones where quite burdensome with no discernible effect on contagion or deaths."
