So you're okay with 34,000 dead from the flu. Interesting. What's the number where it warrants shutting down the economy like this? 50k? 100k?
What's the number of deaths you're okay with?
If current medical science, treatments and vaccinations still results in deaths it has to be compared to the lives it saves and btw you can't force people to get flu shots. Therefore, think of how many lives might have been saved if more people had got a flu shot.
The numbers surrounding COVID speak for themselves along with the complete lack of any effective counter measures that could have been effective.
Again you keep waaaing about the economic impact . What other way do you think would have been equally or more effective?
Just what the hell difference does an economic recovery make if you're not here to enjoy it. COVID is just as lethal for you as it is anyone unless you're proven to have the antibodies needed to make you immune to it.
