Based on what we now understand about #coronavirus, it seems clear to me the consensus of opinion in the country is that losing a few hundred thousand people (or fewer if we are clever) is an acceptable price for reopening the economy. I'm in a higher risk category and agree.

I don't know if it's really that the public would accept 1.2 million deaths. It's more they don't believe it would happen.

That’s only because most people feel confident that they, or their loved ones, would not be one of the 1.2 million. It’s nothing but optimism bias.

Scott that is a growing number. 1.2 million death in the 4-8 weeks. It will increase exponentially beyond that. Less than 5 percent of population at best might have the virus.

I think the current sentiment is we are just flattening the curve not reducing cases. So, death rates would be identical as long as you stay under hospital capacity curve, just stretched over months rather than weeks. Am I missing something?

It’s not going to be endless in either case, but you are correct. People like Scott and Michigan protesters who want to open up right now are advocating for more death and a worse economy. Those who want to continue to fight the virus want less death and better recovery.

Have we confirmed the death count as died from Covid or with covid? Autopsy’s have been done? Are the deaths from covid or are they sick people which the virus sped up the time to which death came?

When the government asks me to stay home I listen. When the government says stay home (or else) I disobey.

Just because the government says something, doesn't make it wrong.pic.twitter.com/7FFfLKGEY0
