It's just that logically, Katz is wrong. The death rate would have been huge (you like that word) and our hospitals would have been unable to handle the ill. It would have been 1918 all over again
and likely much, much worse, worse because the national econ would have tanked on its own, we would be in a deep financial depression and the ill would not be able to be taken care of and the
infrastructure would have collapsed. As a National security issue, this would have devastated this country. As it is, only a small portion of our military became ill (so far) and we were able to keep our
borders safe. This virus is attacking all comers not just the elderly. Predicting the future with exact numbers is plain dumb unless you look at them as an idea of what the human destruction could be
and what to do to mitigate that scenario. Like I've said, this wasn't about preventing 60 thousand deaths - it was about limiting it to 60 thousand deaths - A big difference.
Katz is patently wrong - logically.
