No, it's entirely avoidable. I'm referring to unnecessary deaths from COVID-19, which, as we've seen here in California, and the Bay Area specifically, have not hit numbers suggested by initial models because we implemented shelter in place.

I don't see anything more to your argument than what the woman standing with a sign saying "I want a haircut" is saying. Your attitude is dangerous. People will die unnecessarily if state leaders do as you suggest. This is what the modeling says, and you have offered nothing to suggest otherwise.

Are you willing at all to consider the models were flawed and shelter in place is only delaying deaths a few months?
Not until you can demonstrate that to me.
Lets wait a few months and see
Are you willing to educate yourself about R?
