Sacks proposes post office distribute masks to every mailbox as first step toward fine-tuned pandemic policy.
“The post office should put one or a number of these in everyone's mailbox. This is the first step to having a more fine tuned policy than just quarantine.”
Sacks says both sides are politicized: lockdown advocates want indefinite restrictions, opponents refuse even masks.
“Well, nowhere in the country did the hospitals get overwhelmed and we're still in these lockdowns. And so, you know, I think that it's long overdue for it to end.”
Sacks advocates ending lockdowns while wearing masks, a position hard to find on political spectrum.
“So, you know, I come out on this thing is that I think we should end lockdowns but wear masks.”
Sacks advocates ending lockdowns while wearing masks, a position he says is politically isolated.
“I think we should end lockdowns but wear masks. And it's very hard to find anybody, you know, in the political spectrum who who agrees with that”
Sacks cites Japan, South Korea, and Czech Republic as proof that mask-wearing controls COVID.
“South Korea, fifty one million people under three hundred deaths. You take a a Western European nation like Czech Republic, they had a huge COVID outbreak, a spike just like the rest of Europe.”
Sacks says the right policy is ending lockdowns while wearing masks, but politicians split on both.
“I think the right policy is to end lockdowns but wear masks. The problem with the politicians is half of them didn't want to end lockdowns and the other half didn't want to wear masks.”
