But what does losing 1-2 weeks of life really mean. It's a phrasing with intentionally reduced emotional impact. Let's say I was willing to sacrifice 3 months of my life to have avoided COVID lockdowns. Reverse engineering that number, we get to 6 million covid deaths in the US, (1 million actual * 6 difference between 2 weeks to 3 months) and 87 million years of life lost. Converting all of that to 12 personal weeks of life lost, 1. Isn't what is actually at stake, it's a die roll and if you lose you die and 2. doesn't accurately account for the devastation. People are devastated when their loved ones lose their lives from COVID, it's not a few weeks of life lost 50 or so years from now. 132 million Americans were alive during World War 2. 300,000 of them died in the war, which is about the same ratio as COVID. But it's ok, because really it was just 2 weeks of life lost per person? I’m not saying it’s too emotional to be data driven, I’m just saying the datapoints chosen are not equivalent.
