“That (letting it burn through) has been a rational option from the onset. There IS a plausible argument that the cure is worse than the disease...But it is not the moral option. At least not yet.”
Yea, and I’d like to see some other country try it first. The UK essentially said they would, then backed off. No other country that I know of has tried it, not even China, who could stand to lose a couple of hundred million old people.
I believe the countries who were going to let it “burn through” may have changed their tune when they saw how many under 60 were ending up in the hospital
China could still do a “burn through” with the rest of their country—only a very small percentage have been infected to date.
