What will do greater damage- the virus or our response to the virus?

On what basis does this make any sense?

How is this not an unimaginably irresponsible hysterical over-reaction?

Pretty much. This is why I think something bigger than this virus is going on. Since when did our governments really care about our lives?

Never.

We will be the ones at the back of the train just like in the movie Snowpiercer.

It's an or relation: if we let the virus do his work, it will take a big toll, and we won't have control over the damage.
OR we make the sacrifices and we decide what we are willing to lose. And if we choose this, we probably lose more (in a materialistic view) as if we would let the virus spread on it's own, but we can save the most precious things for us. Life.

The virus, definitely the virus.

something bigger than this virus is going on.

Does someone want to do the most damage possible to us

200 Americans have died
so destroy the lives of millions of Americans?

you say 200 lives, lest come back to this statement in 1 month and re-evaluate your 200 lives.

In Italy:

Table 1 presents the most common pre-existing chronic pathologies (diagnosed before contracting the infection) in deceased patients. This figure was obtained in 355/2003 deaths (17.7% of the overall sample). The average number of pathologies observed in this population is 2.7 (median 2, Standard Deviation 1.6). Overall, 3 patients (0.8% of the sample) had 0 pathologies, 8 9 (25.1%) had 1 pathology, 91 had 2 pathologies (25.6%) and 172 (48.5%) had 3 or more pathologies.




Only 3 out of a sample of 355 "corona virus deaths" without a serious pre-existing condition

Average age of deaths testing positive with co-morbid, pre-existing illnesses = 80 years

Your criminal, juwish-banker controlled governments are going to collapse your economies and destroy your lives based on the above "threat"

Let that sink in.

What do you say it will be in a month

and how many destroyed lives should we destroy now?

Will they destroy the lives of millions

to save the lives of some?

Neither.

Option #3, the panic over the virus, is causing the most damage.

Do you believe that shutting our society down is the proper response to this virus?

Currently.

How many in a month is worth destroying the economy - 500? 10,000?

Your point. How many?

Self-inflicted damage by widespread panic induced by relentless propaganda.

The Worldwide Lockdown May Be the Greatest Mistake in History


"The idea that the worldwide lockdown of virtually every country other than Sweden may have been an enormous mistake strikes many — including world leaders; most scientists, especially health officials, doctors and epidemiologists; those who work in major news media; opinion writers in those media; and the hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people who put their faith in these people — as so preposterous as to be immoral. Timothy Egan of The New York Times described Republicans who wish to enable their states to open up as “the party of death.”

That’s the way it is today on planet Earth, where deceit, cowardice and immaturity now dominate almost all societies because the elites are deceitful, cowardly and immature.

But for those open to reading thoughts they may differ with, here is the case for why the worldwide lockdown is not only a mistake but also, possibly, the worst mistake the world has ever made. And for those intellectually challenged by the English language and/or logic, “mistake” and “evil” are not synonyms. The lockdown is a mistake; the Holocaust, slavery, communism, fascism, etc., were evils. Massive mistakes are made by arrogant fools; massive evils are committed by evil people..."


"...The lockdown is “possibly even more catastrophic (than the virus) in its outcome: the collapse of global food-supply systems and widespread human starvation” (italics added). That was published in the left-wing The Nation, which, nevertheless, enthusiastically supports lockdowns. But the American left cares as much about the millions of non-Americans reduced to hunger and starvation because of the lockdown as it does about the people of upstate New York who have no incomes, despite the minuscule number of coronavirus deaths there. Or about the citizens of Oregon, whose governor has just announced the state will remain locked down until July 6. As of this writing, a total of 109 people have died of the coronavirus in Oregon.

An example of how disinterested the left is in worldwide suffering is made abundantly clear in a front-page “prayer” by a left-wing Christian in the current issue of The Nation: “May we who are merely inconvenienced remember those whose lives are at stake.”

“Merely inconvenienced” is how the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, a Protestant minister and president of the North Carolina NAACP, describes the tens of millions of Americans rendered destitute, not to mention the hundreds of millions around the world rendered not only penniless but hungry. The truth is, like most of the elites, it is Barber who is “merely inconvenienced.” Indeed, the American battle today is between the merely inconvenienced and the rest of America."
