The number of new deaths everyday is not a “model”. It’s a fact.
The 4 trillion spent in just a week are facts too. That works out to billions per death.
How do you feel about that?
Calculating the value of human life at $.02 per life we should just take everybody over 60 out and shoot them and let everybody get a two week cold. Devoid emotion it is the “logical” thing to do. Unfortunately we tend to be emotional. Myself, I have done parachuting, scuba diving, rappelling into caves, and mountain climbing. Understanding the risks and mitigating them into “negligible” let’s you accomplish just about anything you desire. Rappelling without rope is an experience you only get once.
