I wanted to see how much corona, if it was 10 times as bad as it is right now in Britain, would actually be. So the UK had about 170 deaths when I last looked, and it goes up by about 50 a day, to be generous to the virus. Last year, half a million people died in England alone. A quarter of those people died of cancer, 125000 people. If 70 people died every day it would equate to 25550 deaths per year, about 1/5 that of cancer. If 700 people died per year in Britain from the virus, it would equate to about the same amount of deaths as heart disease and stroke. This is also the amount of deaths that were predicted by the governments computer modelling should we do absolutely nothing about it.
Think: we are sacrificing our eeconomy for probably the rest of the year in order to prevent the sort of numbers of deaths we would shrug our shoulders at if they came from any other source. The only reason we have such an overblown response to this virus is that it is new.
The problem is that a good bit of those who survive have decreased lung function

Frank should get the first priority in my view. He is the closest to prime physical and reproductive age and can readily do military service if not become employed because they're still young enough to have the lack of a good resume be justifiable.
Frank is 19 and will be fine. But if he gets sick with Coronavirus, chances are he can’t enter the military. And he certainly cannot have sex for a while. Even so, Frank will recover without one, most of the time. He just needs to stay home and rest. Maria may need it if she has underlying conditions, or if she’s immunocompromised, but otherwise her age means she’s still not really in the danger zone. Sofia probably won’t even get Coronavirus (I’ve noticed this virus seems to skip children or makes them asymptomatic carriers). Giuseppe needs the ventilator. He won’t live without it. When pneumonia hits the elderly, it can be deadly. Source? I’ve watched it happen. Your answer just shows you would rather pay attention to worshipping some fantasy of male virility than to the reality of illness.

i mean, death is bad, but managing thousands and thousands of sick people at a time with the expectation of even more can seriously ruin nations if left unchecked

All of mine have passed away except for one, being that I'm approaching 31 soon. She is in a nursing home where realistically speaking, she is nothing more than a burden because her body has broken down on her if she is in 90+ range. She is entitled to live there because she is using the money that was gotten from selling her house when she couldn't live there anymore, practically speaking. But I can guarantee that she'd be kicked out or abandoned as soon as that money ran out. Unless she were able to be covered by Medicaid.
It is all over for you in terms of freedom, if you lose your physical mobility or if you become poor enough.

And in the process, saving millions of lives. Because slower outbreaks overwhelm healthcare systems less.

More people have now died in Iran's Fars province from alcohol poisoning while trying to protect themselves from the coronavirus than from the disease itself, Iranian media report.
Mohammad Javad Moradian, the director of the province's emergency services centre, told Isna news agency that Covid-19 had killed 13 people in Fars, while 66 have died after drinking industrial-strength alcohol.
A persistent rumour in Iran claims that drinking alcohol helps protect individuals from contracting the virus.

Just...brilliant. Really needs to be a crackdown on lies about this epidemic.
