Ok, I'll bite: where are the coffins of all the people who have died in the last four weeks from not working?

Because I can show you lots of coffins from people in NY and Italy who went to work whilst the pandemic was raging.

you don't think no people will die by not be able to afford basic necessities due to not working ?

Oh, I do.

So show us the model (we still do that right?) when the death by virus numbers are less than the death by poverty numbers.

But you can't becuase you didn't. You just "feel" its time.

So if the death by poverty is less than death of virus, then continue lockdown ? Must be sucks to be the one who dying due to poverty caused by lockdown.

Of course not, and here is why: lockdown is not binary, there are degrees of lockdown.

So, when you help us all out with the model of deaths-by-lockdown that informed your decision, we can all benefit from it by comparing it against the latest, updated death-by-covid-19 models and making an informed choice about the degree (if any) of lockdown to pursue.

The lesser evil.

But of course no such model exists. Its all just emoting. Happy to be wrong.
