THIS newspaper’s editorial the other day titled “IATF should study the science and math of the pandemic” is so patently wrong. In our National Capital Region, before government started to contain it, 80 percent of hospitals’ ICUs were filled with Covid-19 cases. Wouldn’t it have withdrawn its declaration in March that Covid-19 is a pandemic, and just said it is “no deadlier than the flu”? Today, almost 35 million cases of Covid-19 have now been reported to WHO, and more than one million people are reported to have lost their lives. Astonishingly, that editorial arrogantly hectored the IATF-EID to “study the science and math of the pandemic.” Indeed, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
