these models that "the measures have saved lives" which is deceitfully cut off at some future moment. They ignored the lives that would be lost soon after the cutoff in the scenario with their measure policies. I think we can all agree on benefits and risks of flattem the curve if we get honest information about it from the MSM and their experts. After that, we can think what kind of social distancing measure (strict or loose, none) we can take.
In response to your trivial point, those flawed models the authors pointed to didn't factor possibility of treatments being developed either. That's X factor, can't be quantified and therefore shouldn't be in any models.
