You can think whatever you please, but Arthur has mentioned enough factual arguments that it seems thinking that without offering counterarguments is rather unreasonable.

I'm not doing that because I don't actually disagree. But people who do disagree would, I suspect, not offer counterarguments...

So much as offer what they take for be countervailing CONSIDERATIONS (i.e. reasons they think the lockdown situation is intolerable).

Maybe, but if so, it's for reasons largely unrelated to the stuff Chu is talking about.

One thing they might be thinking: prolonged lockdown risks an economic collapse so dire it would devastate us far more than coronavirus.

oh my god, this is so fucking stupid. A whole lot of people dying ALSO risks a really dire economic collapse! The Black Death reshaped Europe's entire economy and political system!

And there's an obvious worst case scenario ON BOTH AXES, insofar as those are even separate The idea that it makes any sense at all to even say "Higher death rate, but then again better economy" is absurd

You don't get out of this without getting a shutdown The shutdown is inevitable When people really truly believe and understand that they're not safe, they'll flee This is an ancient and predictable pattern with disease The only question is whether the shutdown does any good

And whether it's done in a controlled fashion or whether everybody just flees (which is absolutely a worst-case scenario for many reasons, not least because historically this leads to A LOT OF VIOLENCE against marginalized groups.)
