A comment on London will be overwhelmed by Covid in a fortnight says leaked NHS briefing. Parent comment
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 ?
