>>12390382> 1. Limited hospital capacity even BEFORE covid> 2. Shortage of Doctors and Nurses in pretty much every county in the US. Problem is worse elsewhere.> 3. 1.9 million deaths/yr is a huge burden on the medical infrastructure> 4. The burden on the medical infrastructure would result in a dramatical decrease in QoL in every area of life.The solution to these problems is just giving morphine to old people and people with preexisting conditions that make them less likely to survive. If Nazi Germany was able to get rid of millions of bodies I don't see how we couldn't do it.
> 5. Letting COVID become endemic gives it the ability to mutate even further. If SARS-COV-2 had the same lethality as SARS-COV-1, it would kill 5-30 million people easily.Even if we lock down first world countries people will do whatever the fuck they want in countries where laws are loosely enforced. Since that's where the majority of the world's population lives I don't really see the benefit of lockdowns when the virus can still mutate in shithole countries.
You're also not considering how lockdowns destroy economies, if people don't make enough money to pay for healthcare then healthcare will get worse and longer and stricter lockdowns will be needed, and so on in a vicious cycle.
