The numbers 70,000 to 116,000 are for the entire 1957-1958 pandemic, which of course is done. The number of over 150,000 for the current pandemic is only the deaths to date, which are at a rate of about 1500 per day now and rising. So I&#x2

If we could have a hard lockdown for 4-8 weeks and still come out the other end in good financial shape, that would be amazing, and really get the virus under control. If a small number of families could make that happen, let's do it.
