At the current mortality rate, that's about 15,000 more people every day who will die because politicians choose the economy over public safety. Then factor in any one of those people being your sibling, parent, child or grandparent and tell me you agree that projected loss of life is worth the risk.

I’m seeing a global critical/severe rate of open cases at 3% and 15% less total death in usa this march compared to last march. One could argue that it’s because people are staying home, but that really wouldn’t explain why it isn’t higher, given the supposed death rates. I’d be much more worried about not having any contact with degraded forms of the virus naturally considering that’s the only defense right now. I would argue, in the absence of a vaccine, the best course of action would be a mostly open society, minus bigger events, with normal typical virus season precautions.
