How many excess deaths are okay? 1000? 10,000? It's a false dichotomy to trade off a complete shutdown vs giving up on covid-19. The right strategy is get ppe and testing, then we can more carefully open things up. Make rules that people have to wear masks when they are close to others. Then you can more safely open things up. It's not one or the other.
- slimed 6y agoHow many excess deaths are not okay? 1? 10? The right strategy is to grin and bear it like our ancestors did. We'll have a vaccine soon enough. Or not. Either way, welcome to Planet Earth. Most of us Earthlings would prefer to live rather than hide.
- NotSammyHagar 6y agoMy point is there's not a choice only between staying at home and our idiotic state by state opening up w no plan or safety plan. We can open up when safe, have actual protections , ppe, testing together.
