Quay- you asked me to source the 2%, i said it wasn’t my statement.
Now you are thinking those two statements are contradictory? The lock down was to flatten the curve so people could come in a few weeks/month apart instead of filling the hallways. These weeks would be valuabke in learning anything we can for the april patient that we didn’t know for the march patient. Such as the extent of the contagion. And in may they knew more about lower vent pressure etc.
Nobody said waiting to come out of lockdown for vaccines or cures (besides you) as that would be 18 months or more. People were expected to pass this around and people were expected to die, but the hope was that they wouldn’t die from ppe shortage or on gurneys in the hallways.
