I see what you're saying

I actually disagree. I think he has inspired a lot of people to take a more critical look at what's actually happening. I don't think it would be wise to make a recommendation without data do you? He is the first reputable academic in the field that I know of to come out and say that the fatality rate might be comparable or even less than the flu. His recommendation seems to be that unless we can quickly jusitfy our panic, we should stop panicking.

He actually did seem to make a recommendation in his article. He said we should not shut down the economy to fight this without a lot more evidence that that is necessary. He actually basically said that we have to weigh the worst case scenario from the disease against the worst case scenario from the intervention. It seemed pretty clear that he felt the intervention is worse.
