As the death rate accelerates and it takes out more and more of the population the knock-on effects accelerate The higher a percentage of the population that suddenly dies, the harder it is to find unaffected people to take up the slack for the jobs of the affected people

That's the WHOLE THING THAT "FLATTENING THE CURVE" MEANS YOU TREMENDOUS PIECE OF SHIT "Well if a million people are *going* to die then let's just get it over with now" is the mindset of a fucking child with no understanding of what death means, practically or psychologically

look this principle is trivial to derive if the badness of a death is equal to how bad it makes me feel, and we know that human feels increase on a logarithmic scale, then it's just obvious that increasing deaths have decreasing marginal badness, QED

Lol it's like he thinks "a million is a statistic" is literally true "I feel a lot worse when I read about one person dying who has a name and a face than when I read a statistic about a million dying I will extrapolate this to the entire world"
