This article is a great example of why I feel many peer review articles are absolutely worthless.

Today this article is outdated crap IMO. Maybe in normal times somebody found these massive delays necessary, but in the world of a pandemic it is like having a special task force to respond for a massive earthquake that hits Los Angeles and you station it in Las Vegas. Too little, too late.

I don't see exactly what the journals are adding to the mix here. They cause delays where in today's digital world the article should be online the day it is submitted. This system is like the authors send it to the journal via Pony Express and the journal transcribes it to braille to give to their blind copyreaders who then pass it on to monks living in caves to prepare it for the printers.

Still running this medical regimen with medieval thinking IMO

The footnote is also nice!
