Renowned Wharton RE guru says: virus free-for-all is way to go

So I'm only a few minutes into Linneman's hour-long webinar thing/recording but a friend told me - and it sounds like I can tell where he's going - that Linneman's stance is we should let this fucker run wild and kill a zillion people fast instead of stressing our system by trying to slow it. Who's on board? What would someone like Gordon Gekko say?

 

sorry cannot share because it's not cheap, friend's employer paid for it and i promised i wouldn't. but linneman is popular in the biz, ask around in your network - pretty common to be a subscriber.

edit: weird, just saw two people post the link and then it disappeared. no idea if it turned out to actually be free or what.

 
Chinese RE Guy:
This is what UK suggested to do, but they quickly reverted back to country-wide shutdown.
haha, i heard Boris Johnson threw this out there to scare the shit out of people into voluntarily shutting down, which actually worked. no clue if true.
Also Japan is doing something similar, although Japanese people are so insanely disciplined that they require less government intervention to contain the spread.
JUST read about this practically seconds ago, coincidentally. This is AMAZING given the fact that Japan is up there with Italy in terms of old people, and that China is their biggest trading partner, their proximity to China, etc

Believe I read, and I don't know if it came out before or after his other plan, that the Borris Johnson plan is/was to limit people age 50 and older into self quarantine. As from what I've read the mortality rate is .2% or .02% for people under 60, why are we throwing the whole country into an economic crisis when if old people would just stay home this would work itself out.

 

I think that's a bit harsh but there is a medium ground. quarantine the vunerable for 2 to 4 weeks and let all the low risk people get infected. After that period the majority of people would have an immunity so it would be harder for the vunerable to get it.
