So you contend that if we had kept going to basketball games, weddings, restaurants, work, etc., etc. that the curve would have flattened the same way it has.
Magic's wonderful.
First even the lockdown proponents admit it doesn’t save lives they just want to flatten the curve or some such nonsense.
It can save lives in two ways. If you stay within the capacity of the healthcare system patients get better care and more survive.
Also, if you delay the deaths you may get more effective treatments or potentially a vaccine.
Nonsense, I know.
please tell me how you will get 2 million deaths in the US when there arent 2 million cases worldwide and the death rate less than 1%?
We probably won't because we've taken pretty severe mitigation measures, but if we don't get treatments or a vaccine we could reach that number over several years.
Do the math. Let's say you need 70% infected to get herd immunity.
70% of our population is 224M people. If the death rate is 1% that's 2.2 million deaths.
Where's the flaw?
Sweden hasn’t locked down or destroyed their economy and they are doing well.
talk a out magical thinking. This thing was likely here and circulating months before any mitigation was attempted. If you look at the curves in just about any location they are the same regardless of mitigation efforts sweden anyone? There is no proof trashing our economy and civil liberties did anything but trash our economy and civil liberties. As far as your 2.2 million deaths over years the panic models were saying 2.2 million deaths this spring/summer. Live in your cave if you want but this has been the worst self inflicted injury our country has ever seen
