      Lol you actually think you're smart because you've "decoupled" the social safety net "issue" and the somehow entirely separate herd immunity "issue" You haven't listened to a goddamn word I've said

      But I've absorbed enough to see your point and let me concede it (since I already agreed) in this form:

      IF we adopt the greater-freedom Swedish model for our COVID-19 response, there will be costs; and the best way to ameliorate these will be...

      It's not just that it's "offsetting costs" it's that if you don't have social support the Swedish model doesn't work at all!

      Look the WHOLE IDEA of "controlled burn", the ONE THING that makes it different from "Fuck it, just let whatever happens happen", is the idea of separating the old from the young, the high risk groups from the low risk

      The whole justification for it, going back to when Robin Hanson posted that stupid blog post that Dominic Cummings latched onto, is this convenient idea that you can cloister the elderly while the young working adults get exposed, and have that be your first and second wave

      THAT ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF POLICY MAKING PEOPLE DO THAT If a lot of the young people are too poor to live on their own and share a house with their retired parents then you aren't doing ANYTHING to lower total deaths in the long run You're just letting them happen

      Sweden partially adopted this model because, in fact, with their strong social safety net they're one of the countries that has the highest rate of people living alone in the world They've been hardly criticized for this "liberal atomization" by conservatives

      But that's why they convinced themselves it can work Swedish people get a ton of support when it comes to renting, home ownership, welfare checkups from the state There are way more retirees living alone than in nursing homes compared to the US

      If you try to do a "controlled burn" in the US as it is now it won't be controlled The whole place is soaked in kerosene (risky behaviors that speed the spread) It's just letting it burn

          That's what's so fucking shitty about this whole thing Controlled burn is at least an argument, if a bad one *Uncontrolled* burn is different It's not saying "I did a bunch of math and this is a counterintuitive way to save more lives" It's just "I don't care about deaths"

          The Americans calling for an end to lockdown and everything to just go straight back the way it was before, while citing that Spiked article or the Robin Hanson blog post, are just straight up evil
