| >So if the vast majority of people survive, we should just let it rip? No, we should still attempt to fight it but doing so without lockdown/masks. lockdown/masks cause misery which is should not be ignored. > Without any counter measures such as masks or lockdowns the rate of infection would be significantly higher resulting - Tens of millions more dead South Dakota never lockdown nor have mask mandate Sweeden as well. Florida mostly not lockdown They are doing fine. There are no significant difference between place that doing lockdown/mask compared to place that don't. The way covid death is counted right now is highly misleading because it including everything remotely related to covid, for example death due to heart attack while being positive for covid is counted as covid death. Death is not the sole metric, yes reducing death is a good thing but if it attempted by increasing misery due to lockdown then I don't want it. |
