Did you look at the two articles I shared with you?
I can accept that the 80k deaths number in the US under lockdown, and whatever % death rate that implies is probably unknowable. But I still believe it is worse than the flu, and worth looking at many other countries and how they've kept their numbers down. Sweden is one, and there are others to look at too, not just a selective one.

For the most part, what we see is that things like mask wearing, widespread testing, and contact tracing then isolating only those sick has worked. So to me the only real question is, why aren't we doing that? Sure, we missed the window where we could have avoided lockdown the way some countries have. But that doesn't mean we can't do that coming out of lockdown. What makes no sense to me is that we aren't even preparing to do that while in lockdown. Talk about a wasted lockdown. No progress is being made during it, only sacrifice that will be wasted as soon as we come out of lockdown with still no widespread mask wearing (Japan's approach, with no lockdown and only 2% of our death rate per capita) or widespread testing (the Hong Kong and Taiwan way), etc.

I think we agree that the lockdown is hurting people more than the disease right now. I think we disagree on what will hurt most a few months from now. My hope is that we never get to find out which one of us is right, because we make the right choices to have minimal lockdown and maximum containment of this virus without a horrific 2nd wave.
