Speed The Spread

This kind of argument has been around, and is more salient now that omicron has taken over. (I suspect that's what I've had for two weeks now, though Binax says otherwise.) But this is the sort of argument you can't really evaluate without a lot of background knowledge. I mean, it's a nondeductively valid argument--which is to say that the information given does provide nondeductive support for the conclusion...but when such arguments fail (which is often) they typically do so on account of additional information not represented in the argument. 
But anyway: it's a reasonable argument, but without knowing that we have the relevant counterinformation, it's nothing but basically the first step in the discussion.
