| Chicho said: I hear people now say that we are too far in so we should just completely open and let the virus take its course and whoever is left alive can resume a normal life. When this started I didn't think i would be hearing those types of comments. |
IFR is somewhere around 0.6% to 1%, with covid19.
Assumeing you need 70%+ infected to reach herd immunity....
That means potentially 1,39m to 2,3m deaths (best case).
Likely IFR % goes up if your hospital system cant keep up with incomeing patients.
(some states are starting to run out of ICU bed space for covid19 patients, now)
Not to mention, its hard to keep going on as normal, when a leathal virus is makeing its way though society.
Ignoreing it, and continueing on as if nothing is wrong, and let it runs its course.... is going to have just as bad conscequences as trying to manage it.
(ei. it might still be cheaper and better for the economy to do a 2nd lockdown, not to mention human life costs)
"When this started I didn't think i would be hearing those types of comments."
Im not surprised some think how the stockmaket is doing, is more important than human lives.
We've also heard alot of republicans going "I would die for this flag, my freedoms,.. " who seem to think dieing for the economy is fine.
