Again - The original projection of over 2.2 million deaths in the US from this virus was what prompted the government to move as swiftly as they did (In January and February) and supported the wholesale closing of the United States policies. All 50 states. That was my original point. That projection was then lowered to 1 million, then 1-200,000 , then 80,000, now 60,000. (Which is a normal flu year).
This was certainly not worth it (IMHO - now waiting for the expected "what if it was your mother, you'd be thinking different")
