Straw man. The death rate isn't going to end up being 1%. Maybe half that. US population is around 330 million so assuming a .5% death rate...if EVERY single person in the US caught the virus (which won't happen because you start to hit herd immunity around 60-70% of the population) than we'd have around 1.5 million deaths. At the very most. That's worst case scenario and not even very realistic. Of those 1.5 million the vast majority would be people that would have died anyway in the near future (nursing home patients, 80+ year olds, those with chronic heart conditions and those who are morbidly obese.) Look, it sucks. But having us spiral into another great depression would be far more deadly than 500k mostly already very old or very sick people dying because of this virus. If you are old or sick, isolate and wait for a vaccine. Everyone else, wear a mask, socially distance, wash your hands...and LIVE LIFE.
