But if everyone had of x for y weeks and that prevented z deaths, how is that not worth it?
x=stopped driving
y=52
z=34,000
or
x=not gone skiing
y=4 months
z=41
I'm not sure where the line is, but there are a number of things we could ban to lower the death rate. That doesn't mean I disagree with your assessment, but I'm just not sure I have any logical cut off point for what I would support and what I wouldn't other than just the way it feels looking at the numbers and how much it inconveniences me personally. (And I happen to like lockdown...)
