I may not agree with Dr. Morrow, but I definitely salute his willingness to buck consensus. We need civil discourse and robust dissent in our lives, and not in the form of “alternative facts”. I think most of the facts he lists are true, just that his judgements are not quite where mine are.

Why do you not agree with him?
Because he keeps saying there are not problems "yet" and trajectories / forecasts are clearly indicating a region-wide hospitalization crisis. He admits that a crisis will come, and just wants to wait; I believe it is wiser to preempt the crisis, particularly with a rapidly-growing epidemic and two-week latency between infection and hospitalization.
