Safety and production

Fauci has come under attack for changing the isolation time from ten days to five. This is one of the few times he has done something that represents the real world. He has evaluated the risk/benefit ration and arrived at a compromise solution. As a health and safety expert he was put in the awkward position of having to decide based on economics. From his standpoint he was responsible for keeping Americans healthy and the economy was someone else concern but he got stuck with both. He now is starting to realize that and taking appropriate steps to deal with both sides of the issue. In manufacturing plants there is a Quality Control manager who wants every product to be perfect quality and a production manager who wants to produce the highest number of units. These two work together to reach and acceptable compromise. Fauci did not have that luxury.
