77 k people died of smoking in the U.K. in the same period 65 k people died of Covid. I didn’t see any campaigns to ban smoking, did you? #COVID19
For humans, death by Covid vs death by smoking is the time scale (2 weeks vs 20 years), although smoking will almost certainly kill you whereas Covid almost certainly won’t....it’s all about time and hospital capacity. Any other difference?
Lockdowns aren’t meant to save life- they are meant to save the healthcare system - NHS or whatever. It’s all about optics.
Let’s put it another way. If every human being had the same care Trump had when he got Covid, deaths would be a lot smaller, less than a normal flu. What would situation be if everyone had private health care that they could jump - like a mobile phone network, if they don’t like?
