Saying "you can't lock down for one to two years" is an absurd strawman as nobody would ever advocate for that
Having a gradient of social distancing and having it be enforced by government officials is the only sane way to avoid mass needless death which is what is happening in Sweden right about now
- noughtme 7y agoSweden’s position is that deaths are not avoidable. At the end of the pandemic they expect the death rate across most countries (with the exception of some outliers, like Italy) to be broadly similar. As such they have decided it makes no sense to completely shutdown the economy with all the longterm implications that would entail. As long as moderate social distancing prevents their healthcare system from being overwhelmed, they believe that to be optimal.
