But how many people? Should 10,000 kids lose school and all the problems that can avalanche into for the future to save 1 year of 1 life of one person who already has degrading health?
- heylook 6y agoI would happily trade away: - 1 whole semester of in-person instruction for all 56 million school-aged kids in the US In exchange for: - The cumulative remaining years of the 50k(?), 100k(?), possibly even more that will die directly from the virus in the US alone - Freedom from long-term health issues caused by the virus for another several hundred thousand at minimum who won't die but also won't get "the flu" Now your turn. What is your number?
- rwcarlsen 6y agoI acknowledge that we are choosing between two bad alternatives here. I personally believe that we should trade all N hundred thousand lives for a normal school year for 56 million kids.
