Longevity is not the only thing that matters in life. I and I think most other people would rather live in a liberal country even if it means my life expectancy is slightly decreased.
“Millions of deaths” sounds like a lot because the world (and Chinese) population is high, but the per-person life expectancy impact of an unchecked Covid pandemic is quite modest.
- moistly 5y agoIt has already shaved two years of life expectancy off America’s citizens… and that’s with halfway decent actions being taken to immunize and isolate. An unchecked Covid pandemic would be a helluva lot worse.
- dragonwriter 5y ago> Longevity is not the only thing that matters in life Yeah, long COVID is a big impact, potentially bigger in terms of QALY or DALY than COVID-induced mortality.
