"CMW" stands for "conventional medical wisdom" and "conventional moral wisdom"

And the CMW today strongly favors lockdown and other massively disruptive and costly measures to delay the spread of the Coronavirus.

It furiously opposes to the point of not tolerating expression or defense of the opposing view that "the cure is worse than the disease".

And that, today, is emerging as a much more powerful variant of political correctness, as one might say.

Conventional wisdom does not have a great track record, whether moral, medical, or any other.

And PC is, well, you know.
