The lock-down has never been about saving lives. It's about preventing the chaos that would occur if we did nothing and let the health care system crash.

People in charge get this, sure saving lives is nice, but it's about maintaining the order of things.

You really think if this went out of control people would not pull a gun in a hospital to get their relative help? Or groups of people would not be targeted, even more than they are now, as scapegoats?

Even now it's acknowledged that many more are going to get it, many more will die, but at least things will not spiral out of control and we will be able to manage the hospitalization rates.
