Dr. Katz believes the fight against coronavirus is worse than the disease

Preventive medicine and public health specialist Dr. David Katz joins Bill Maher to discuss whether the fight against coronavirus is worse than the disease.

Dr. Katz wrote a New York Times op-ed on March 20 titled “Is Our Fight Against Coronavirus Worse Than the Disease?”

In the op-ed, Katz argues against the self-isolation policies put in place by most of the U.S. He advises that instead locking down the country; we should isolate the elderly and most at risk, which would thus “allow most of society to return to life as usual and perhaps prevent vast segments of the economy from collapsing”.
