I think using that statistic (assuming it is right) to have a discussion about go-forward policies is sound. In other words, do we use that statistic to discuss whether those with comorbidities should be protected while those without move forward more freely? That's a rational discussion. My kids' schools are openly full-time this week and none of us could be happier; I'm all for openly safely.
Using the statistic in some effort to minimize the deaths of nearly 200K seems absurd and likely to fail.
I find this response defense odd.

- And without the Covid those fatalities without the other 'complications' would still be here. - golfernot - 7:29pm 8/31/20
- No, many would succumb from the comorbidites anyways (cancer, renal failure, etc), others would - BaronVonZemo - 7:49pm 8/31/20
- Yes, many eventually. For many, years from now. Not March, not August. [NT] - golfernot - 9:18pm 8/31/20
