[quote=Anonymous]This is a flawed misunderstanding of the data and reasons for the lockdowns. The purpose was not to reduce the total area under the curve of everyone who died from COVID. The purpose was to elongate the x (time) variable and reduce the higher if the y (# of deaths as a function of time) variable. That is, to not have a million people die in six weeks, instead to spread it out over several years. Because otherwise the health care system would have completely broken, nowhere near enough beds for that short timeframe, people would have been dying in the streets, and there would have been many more secondary deaths and ripple effects from the breakdown of all other forms of healthcare. It also bought time until vaccines were ready which undoubtedly reduced the number of deaths overall and converted many cases that would have been deaths into illness with recovery.[/quote]
