The goal was to flatten the curve. By flattening it you do decrease deaths from lack of ventilators equipment etc.. You also reduce the number of people who would die of something like a heart attack but will now receive proper care. Hopefully now there won’t be a overrun of hospitals when this does spike again, which everyone agrees it will, because it will be more dragged out and not everyone all at once.
Hey, do you remember that speech on the 2000 campaign trail in which Al Gore talked about the "sidewinding Republicans"?He didn't. Trump called Prince Charles "the Prince of Whales"... because he is an idiot. If Biden is showing signs of dementia, then so is Trump.
You see, that's what I'm not getting... Some people have claimed that they believe that 1 to 2 million lives have been saved by our shut down measures, while many here are saying that the same number of people that were going to die are still going to die, with or without the measures. So, who is right here?
A lot of people may not realize how much more populated Tennessee is than Kentucky. Tennessee has close to 7 million people now. Kentucky's population is still around 4.6 million. Their population was 3.7 million in 1980. They aren't growing much at all. Middle Tennessee is booming.By the way weren’t we told Kentucky was handling this so much better then Tennessee. Oops.
I think all we have is hope on that front at this time
