I agree with what you are saying, the numbers I presented in response to a comparison with the 1918 flu are not good to draw conclusions from. In fact I will admit that thinking further about the numbers we have so far I am sobered by how they may add up across the world. But back on topic, talking about lockdowns: The stated purpose of the lockdown was to flatten the curve so that hospitals are not overwhelmed, which has been successful so far. Do you think lockdowns lower the number of deaths when all is said and done? How long can lockdowns be sustained? Would it be more effective for vulnerable folks to self-isolate? Unless we can mass produce a vaccine in the next couple of months won't this continue moving through the population regardless of what we do?
