Good thing that only 15-30% of the Western world is obese. I don't follow the situation everywhere but here in Belgium fact is that people have been refused access to the ICU because there was no place because of COVID-19. And that's with postponing non-urgent care (which is happening, again) and all the measures taken.
What you call moving on with life means refusing people access to hospitals.
- PKop 5y agoU.S.A. is 40% obese. Hospitals at capacity has been wildly overstated and additionally none of these measures stop the spread of Covid. The cost is not worth the negligible benefit.
- CorrectHorseBat 5y agoWhat makes you think they are overstated? Do hospitals refuse people and postpone treatment for fun? Every time after measures are taken the spread of COVID slows down, every time they are loosened it increases again.

Expecting different results. This is like arguing we should never pull out of Afghanistan because chaos would ensue. Just lock-down forever yes? Stopping the spread of a coronavirus is impossible, how do you not understand this?
- CorrectHorseBat 5y agoWhere did I say stopping the spread? It's not going to go on forever, we have vaccines, every time more people aquire natural immunity, we get better treatment, etc. But we will do this until we don't have to worry about our hospitals anymore. How do you not understand this?
