I think those numbers are way low. Based on demographic numbers: Older than 85: 650k deaths 65-84: 150k 55-65: 400k I don't think everyone will be infected, but lets say it's half. That's 600k. Let's say it's 10%. That's 120k. By any measure, the loss of life is... just breathtaking. But either way, parent was taking about letting everyone get it to build herd immunity, so that's where "everyone gets it" is coming from. https://www.livescience.com/is-coronavirus-deadly.html https://www.livescience.com/is-coronavirus-deadly.html > the doubling of suicides resulting of lockdowns this year to 100k make us more likely to die from suicide than covid-19 This had been circling the internet a little, but I would caution against extrapolating an uptick in suicides into doubling by the end of the year.
