The difference is you think that mortality is avoidable. I don't. We're talking about the US, right? You still think containment is possible in the US? I am absolutely baffled.

You have used the classic rhetorical technique of those on the "doom" faction: take a well-reasoned rebuttal, and reply with a single sentence implying I am callous for openly discussing mortality.

No, the callous ones are those that are imposing a dangerous and unprecedented regime of lockdown, and using fear and hysteria to do so.

Also your math is just wrong. An extra quarter million? We already hit 130k dead, that leaves 120k left "to go" with your number.
