Classic rationalization.

If we continued at that rate we'd end up over 850,000 deaths for a year.
If we continued at the 9/11/2001 rate of plane crash deaths., we would have had 900,000 plane crash deaths a year in america

in part because of what Italy went through: massive overwhelming of the hospital system.
where, specifically?
we have better data now and it shows that this simply wasn't as big of a threat as we projected (based on Italy in large part)

Hospital staff is being laid off in many places. Hell, even in Louisiana the largest health system is telling its employees they HAVE to take 16 hours off per pay period.

Because it’s brand new!!!???
It’s a new way to die. And it killed a couple hundred thousand. That makes the world miss a beat.
If tomorrow at 12:30 pm 200,000 people were gonna drop where they stood or just die where they lay from some weird new ailment, the world takes notice.

It captured the public's attention.
It managed to do so by being highly infectious and particularly gruesome for patients that were immuno compromised

Yep. They have apparently lost over $500 million already.

Yeah, hospitals are realizing this COVID lifestyle is not good for business. They are dying for us to get back to the unhealthy rat race stressful life style.
Just kidding...a little.

It's a 10 day average and we've shut down the economy to get that number as low as possible. If we went back to business as usual or didn't shut down as people have advocated for do you really think the deaths would be lower?

i think the eventual number of deaths isn't going to change
the issue is in what time frame do those deaths occur?
the entire point of social distancing was to flatten the curve and stretch out that time frame over a long period of time, so that our hospitals/ICUs weren't overwhelmed. people are now turning that mitigation strategy into an elimination strategy, in hindsight, b/c it fits the doomcasting narrative
*ETA: let me be clear before Antonio shows up. i'm talking deaths directly-attributed to COVID-19, not potential secondary deaths due to hospitals being overrun and unable to give normal care for emergency situations

Well, yeah. Obviously. But these 200,000 deaths have been spread out over a period of months. Not hours.
Originally, the data called for 2.2 million Americans to die if nothing was done, then it was pushed down to 240,000 with mitigation. Now the models are saying between 60,000-70,000 Americans will die of COVID-19 this year - which is right in line with a bad influenza outbreak.

How much? What if we shut day wn hotspots and enacted distancing guidelines elsewhere with open business?
It's not all or nothing. To also not a stretch at all to think in many areas we overreacted.
Small businesses are probably a miniscule risk for widespread contagions.
