A Stanford University professor of medicine says the governor’s lock-down is not the way to fight the coronavirus. Dr. Battacharya calls the lock-down “A failure of imagination and creativity in policy.” He says the governor’s approach should instead focus on those who are the most vulnerable. To protect the elderly, especially those living in nursing homes. He says the lock-down is “A failure to follow what the science is actually saying about who is most vulnerable.”
