I'm honestly not sure how to say it. What we do about the pandemic determines whether people live or die. I'm not at all trying to intimidate the person - I'm just reminding that the stakes here are pretty high and any direction we go (continued lockdown, gradual opening, sudden opening) has an effect on how many people will ultimately die. Not even to say that human life is that sacred - almost any society if they're honest clearly don't act according to that principle. The parent poster said that government is overreacting to the problem and that he's not met anyone who's scared, and then said fear over early reopening causing a 2nd wave is hyperbolic. This is a lot of people that are already dead - I'm making a rhetorical argument that its absolutely not hyperbolic to consider the possibility that the cases and deaths could ramp upwards sharply.
