You, [USER=1522]@superjohn[/USER], [USER=114]@NJHusky[/USER] and a couple of others are moving the goal posts by only talking about deaths and not discussing the intent of social isolation.  The primary purpose is to flatten the curve of the disease and not overwhelm the medical system.

We are approaching the minimum requirements of PPE and ventilators but not there yet.  We are even further behind with enough testing to do contact tracing.

You all seem to conveniently forget that a good number of people over 35 required hospitalization and intensive care.  Certainly the majority of those people under 70 without pre existing conditions survived compared to that other group who are at a higher risk of dying.  But that doesn't alleviate overwhelming our medical system.

We should all be upset with the vastly inadequate response to the outbreak.  Not having enough tests is the problem and the only reason we are debating economics over medical.
