- madeofpalk 7y agoI think that an extra 57 million people dying is devastating, and we should do everything in our power - even if it means shutting down restaurants - to prevent 57 million needless deaths.
- 6nf 7y agoProblem is the current plan will not save 57 million people. Not even close. The mortality rate will still be 3.6% and we still expect 70% of the population to get infected. So if it was as simple as you say, then sure. Let's shut it all down. But shutting it all down is not going to save us from Covid19.
