> but I do know what Epidemiologist Neil Ferguson from Imperial college created in his flawed modeling - a world wide panic.

You don't think the tens of thousands of deaths in Italy, Spain, France, and the US had already caused that panic by the time his model was released?

[DiffEq]

No, that is not how the timeline went. As to who created the panic - it was Neil, Fauci and their ilk along with the media. The media, instead of reporting that the data shows old and sick people are the ones dying chose to hide that relevant fact and just report the death toll ad nauseam with no context - as a matter of fact they are still doing it.

[holler]

what’s missing is the conversation of how many deaths we’re going to see from the lockdown itself in the form of suicide, alcoholism, drug overdose, domestic violence, mental health etc

[chess_buster]

Yeah. Lets just throw all the elderly and weak and people with pre-existing conditions under the bus and be done with it. Compassion is overrated.

[DiffEq]

Nobody is advocating to throw them under the bus. But the fact is since the virus is essentially unstoppable in its transmission rate everyone will be exposed to it...and what will be of those people will be of them. Their best hope is hospital care if they need it; our hospitals are not overwhelmed and neither are Sweden's...so these quarantine measures are an unnecessary burden.
