          The former idea has intellectual roots in "revealed preferences"/neoclassical economics, but misapplied to national policy decisions.

        Similarly we could say that we "all accepted" 100,000 drug overdose deaths last year, or 30,000 gun deaths, or tens of thousands of suicides, "without taking emergency measures." and therefore we should do the same next year.

      Setting the worst level in the past as the goal post for "the new normal" run directly counter to public health.

    And yet, in proposing a set of tools to move from the status quo, the authors are proposing to do far more than Biden and Co have been willing to do in response to the actual emergencies that are Delta and Omicron.
