> People sick with corona going to events will clearly cause statistical deaths, it's not ambiguous.

People with any kind of cold symptoms going out and mingling also clearly cause statistical deaths, it's not ambiguous. Yet, we lived in a world where people did that routinely and it was left up to parents to protect their children from influenza, something far deadlier than Covid19 for them.

Also, destroying economies, livelihoods, preventing socialization, travel will also clearly cause statistical deaths, it's not ambiguous.

But, I guess, Covid19 means the saint class never owning up to their mistakes.

Beatings will continue until morale improves, I guess.

You wrote this after I said in a sibling tree that we do make all sorts of trade offs. I agree there's lots of places that we could make better ones!

> we could make better ones

Who is the "we" deciding what tradeoffs are better?

[maxerickson]

Various different 'societies'.

I mean, humans have lived as groups with rules for thousands of years, I'm not sure what you are getting at.
