I wonder if these fuckwits actually understand the consequences. there's a lot of flawed assumptions by politicians
maybe they think, well 1% death rate is acceptable, and its mostly the elderly and immunocompromised
But if you let the virus spread uncontrolbly all at once, you get much higher death rates. that death rate counts the people who survive given icu beds and ventilators. with a full blown virus spread, the death rate is much higher among people who receive no treatment, and much higher in the general population because the hospitals are overwhelmed and they can't get normal medical help, such as early cancer surgery. Can't see that as being as palatable, even if you create some deathcamps for people with lung infections to keep them away from the hospitals
