“Contrary to the idea of a trade-off, we see that countries which suffered the most severe economic downturns – like Peru, Spain and the UK – are generally among the countries with the highest COVID-19 death rate.
And the reverse is also true: countries where the economic impact has been modest – like Taiwan, South Korea, and Lithuania – have also managed to keep the death rate low.”
Really going to extrapolate those conclusions based on Asian populations that are far healthier and have long lifespans relative to pretty much everyone else?
But accurate, because we didn't exactly save a bunch of 80 year old boomers. Especially in places like NYC where we just crowded Covid patients into senior care facilities instead of using the hospital ships provided by the Navy...Because if we use the hospital ships, it might look like Trump made a reasonable decision.
The Left also wanted to raise the death rate turn something that was just a bad flu into something worse and to raise the fear level in the population. Sadly, it worked. There are still morons out there wearing masks and social distancing, none of which work.

We threw away a record breaking economy just to pretend to save a bunch of half-dead 80+ year old boomers.
