So Italy has had 400k+ deaths to adjust for our population size? I must have missed that. Current count says less than 15k deaths. Oh, and then don't forget to adjust for the fact that Italy has a significantly older population than the US and 1/4 as many hospital beds per capita as the US.

And anyone that puts mere property ahead of hundreds of thousands of lives is the real monster

1) You are a hypocrite of the highest order. We could save half a million lives every year forever from three changes that would have significantly less economic impact than we're doing. And the savings wouldn't be onetime in nature.
i) Max national speed limit of 35 mph and require all cars to have a Breathalyzer installed to start the car - estimated savings of 30k
ii) Eliminate all junk food, all sugary sodas, ban fast food and no restaurant is allowed to serve more than 1,200 calories per meal to any one person. Obesity kills nearly a million people a year. Doing this would cut back on deaths by approximately half, and also save this country a trillion a year in healthcare costs
iii) Return to alcohol prohibition - lives saved approximately 50k a year

If its for savings lives, why do not support banning these things immediately?

Lastly, it's not about putting property above lives. It's about putting ones and the nations LIVELIHOOD above a small % of lives most nearly their end. Without ones LIVELIHOOD one can't food oneselves, shelter onselves, pay for healthcare, or fund new medical treatments and therapies. It also causes depression, suicide, alcoholism and rampant drug abuse. Again, YOU ARE A MONSTER.

"Aww ad hominem attacks, how surprising."

LOL...and yours weren't?? NONE of the topics you brought up were under discussion, or anything I advocated at any point. That is what "I" call "intellectual dishonesty", and is about the lowest thing one can do in a debate. Done here. Not responding further.
