Yes, so despite that there are thousand of death due to flue and hospital overwhelmed, somehow is was acceptable to not have lockdown back then?
- zzzeek 6y agoyes because the hospital system was not overwhelmed to the extent that it would be with an unchecked coronavirus. The nationwide overwhelming of hospitals with covid is with lockdowns and mask wearing throughout the nation. if steps had not been taken, the death toll would be approaching the millions by now, not just for covid cases but for all kinds of untreated emergencies.
- matz1 6y agoWithout the lockdown the the hospital system are not overwhelmed, at least no more overwhelmed than what happen in the past. Due to lockdown the hospital are furloughing, lying off nurse, freeze hiring. Just look at Sweden where they didn't lockdown. Doesn't mean I say we should not take any step. Step to make vaccine still has to be done, improving treatment still have to be done, increasing health care capacity still have to be done.
