There is money to be made in these circumstances, just like there is money to be made denying climate change or boosting clean coal, COVID-19 is just another profit making opportunity for many people.
As such many of the repeated opinions appear to be attempts at raising a researcher's profile, not really about some radical new insight into the problem, the tell is that no solutions get offered. It's no accident China and the USA are slamming the lid on research funding, as the pandemic is being gamed by many.
Even so, "What is the problem?" is still a question worth asking, but I think the underlying context that articles like this are being referenced in remains a bit disrespectful for the general population. It's the sort of rubbish The Donald would promote while having a private ICU towed around behind him! It reads as, "So a few will die, but not me so it's no big deal!"
