Based on that, it doesn't really make sense to shutdown all of society. Measures focused purely on the vulnerable would achieve the same result for significantly less cost.
- blueboo 6y agoDoes it? If we'd had 330k deaths, and 70% were coming from nursing homes, focusing on care homes would still be more efficient, but we'd be left with 100k that weren't. I realize there is some (necessarily vague) policy threshold past which the resultant damage to the economy is not "worth it", but the fact that there is a particularly vulnerable segment doesn't obviate the need for less efficient mitigation measures.
