>So what do you think of intensive care bed running out and people dying at the hospital entrances like in Italy?
It is bad, I didn't say nothing should be done about it. Some that can be done: Increasing intensive care capacity, redistribute capacity to other hospital, do not admit patient with mild symptom, increasing effort for better treatment/vaccine, etc.
I'm still open to lockdown but certainly not for this virus. Doesn't make sense if the cure is worse than the disease.
Keep in mind vast majority cases is asymptomatic or only have mild symptomp.
cdc estimate of the ifr : https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scena...
0-19 years: 0.00003
20-49 years: 0.0002
50-69 years: 0.005
70+ years: 0.054
Its very low.
>Also, what is the cost you speak about?
Lockdown cost: unemployment, bankruptcy, mental health issue, kids receiving poor education because they can't go to school, delayed treatment for other diseases, suicides, domestic violence, etc
