guess the qyestion is if we cut the death rate down substantially, but nothing else changes, do you think people will say frick it we need to live our lives?

Honestly, I think even if the death rate doesn’t change, people will say that within the next few weeks.

In reality this is hitting 2 groups, the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions. Sure, there are anomalys, but an overwhelming majority is those two groups.

The majority will soon say “If you’re in those two groups, stay home and care about yourself, but the rest of us are getting back to normal”

I think a final word on the drug cocktail will also influence how quickly people call for normalcy.

Is this what you meant to say?

You realize obesity is also a pre existing condition that doesn’t do well with COVID-19

How many people in the US are obese again?

The overwhelming majority of America falls into those two groups
