But social distancing can make at most order of magnitude difference (generous, semi-arbitrary) - which is still way too small change, it just spreads a lot of deaths in time, doesn't stop all of them, right?
- manicdee 7y agoSpreading out cases over time means what might have been a death in a crowded, overworked hospital is a recovery in a moderately challenged hospital where the concerns are fresh face masks rather than available hands.
- mirekrusin 7y agoI know and I don't argue that. I gave 10x less deaths for that, which is generous - but that still means deaths counted in millions.
