This is coming from the figures the other anti-lockdown guy gave for the number of deaths they expect - 2% deaths of the UK population is ~1.32 million people. If you don’t get covid, you don’t die of covid. If you lockdown, you don’t get covid. It’s a simplification but it’s a start.

What you have said is that people will suffer under lockdown - but you haven’t really tried to quantify that. You’ve decided that’s a lost cause and have moved onto “lockdown causes death” ! Amazing.

>If you don’t get covid, you don’t die of covid

Likewise If you get covid, doesn't mean you will die from covid. vast majority of people will be fine.

>If you lockdown, you don’t get covid. It’s a simplification but it’s a start

Maybe you don't get covid but if you lockdown, you may suffer/die from starving/mental health issue instead.

>What you have said is that people will suffer under lockdown - but you haven’t really tried to quantify that

Is it really hard to think that lockdown would cause at least some unemployment, some bankruptcy, some mental health issue ?

>“lockdown causes death”

Unemployment has long been associated with a significantly increased risk of death.

I don't have the precise number but how are you sure that the damage from virus is greater than damage from lockdown ?
