Maybe he hasn't seen the disease because they shut down early in California. Any number of non entrepreneur doctors in Madrid, Milan, London or Paris will counter what he has to say. I am not saying that a universal lockdown is essential - selective isolation of cases is quite possible. Understanding the case fatality in isolation is not helpful if because the R0 is 5 and the disease affects 3 times as many people in a quarter of the time. Hospitals are put under strain by the flu but that is not the same as having to build 5 dialysis units between 7 hospitals in 2 weeks because of the burden of renal failure in patients with corona virus as has happened in just one part of London.
