I think some of the disconnect/confusion in the follow-on discussion here is being caused by my failing to update from a model of “CEA made a difficult COVID cost/benefit calculation” to one of “CEA didn’t think COVID was a major concern” sufficiently quickly/completely. (Most of my post was written under the former model.)
I need to think more about that before I try to clarify my position here, because I’m not 100% sure what it is.
