>And also realise that what you're saying is that you advocate for a modeled 2 million deaths.

So far as I know, there's no evidence that now that quarantine is over the same number of people aren't going to get it anyways and the deaths will be equal.

Quarantine should have been managed at the federal level. Instead we have seen 50 states each acting like their own country despite their codependence with, a paralyzed, executive and legislative branches. Had the us acted in January this would have blown over with few deaths. These lost lives now should weigh on the minds of our elected officials who resisted quarantine, who used this crisis for personal gain, who diminished the severity, etc.

Quarantine may be over in some places but strong restrictions are still exist in many. Which is more evidence for why pandemic response should have a top down coordination team.

Deaths may equal out to worst case predictions, in which case all of America failed.

it's not "get it anyways", they're going to get it because the quarantine is over.

Early lifting of the lockdown combined with things like people unwilling to wear masks and social distance themselves is going to render the benefits of the lockdown useless. America wasted the quarantine. The last few months have been rendered meaningless. That's not the case in other first world countries.

Yes, it is tricky to get evidence of future events that may or may not happen depending on the collective actions people take.

Which is why we build models.

There is no such thing as people who are "going to get it anyways."
