Exactly. It's crazy how some people think that shutting down pretty much everything within days is a more viable alternative or even more doable than ramping up healthcare capacity in... 2 years. They'll usually wave away the massive repercussions that shutdowns cause but they will become very perfectionist when it comes to standard of care and how we need fully trained doctors and nothing less. It's an emergency, as you said it's not time for perfection because the costs are extreme

I think what amazes me is how little it seems some people value their own time and life. Like, life is super short. I sacrificed a non-trival amount of it so these "experts" could build up healthcare capacity.
They have a moral obligation to not waste my life... which they completely did. Why there aren't riots on the street over the fact that the public is still being blamed for not "taking this seriously" is beyond me. Get fucked, dudes--y'all had 2 years to figure this out.

Amen, but where I live you are discribed as mentally ill for thinking this way.

Totally agree. I have been talking about this for the past year. The cost of lockdowns in the Netherlands is ridiculous. Everyone says we can't scale IC blabla. In a crisis we can even put mechanics at beds if we need to.
For me personally it shows it isn't that serious as the fear mongering would like us to be believe
