How much is a lot for you? A million? Two? At what level will you admit that you're just plain wrong about all this? Or is it all fine as long as you get through in one piece?


Wrong about what? It is a fact that vast majority of cases are asymptomatic or only have mild symptoms.

What about million people suffering due to lockdown? To you they should just endure it right?

How about you, how much low is low to you ? 0 death ? 1 death ?

How much is lockdown suffering is acceptable to you ?


So, no answer then. Ok.


It's hard to define "a lot" for 2 reasons:

1. The human population is very large so even the smallest fraction is a sensational number.

2. Any death is a tragedy for someone, not the least the person who died.

This creates a situation where you have lots of people talking past each other.
