How do you make choices on things if you do not have a comparison. I have friends in India that are losing their jobs and are becoming hopeless for their future. What impact long term psychologically can we assign a cost to this? Are we okay with telling people: you lucky ones who can quarantine, hunker down.

There needs to be an operations research department that has the gimp from that John Travolta movie that comes out and says: “here is our cold hearted calculation. For Covid, everyone needs to get healthy, survival rates for under 30 BMI are pretty much perfect, over that, we will see 87% of fatalities amongst this group.” Instead, of getting this sort of information, we got: “everyone can get sick, equally!” We knew early on the mortality was higher for older folks, did this delineation happen, nope. Instead of isolating the elderly, Cuomo sent infected back into the old folks homes! Then lied / hid the data of deaths.
