This is why I want to know its effect on general mortality. Unless general mortality is going to go up 8 fold, it's not worth shutting a state down over.
Then you have to deduct the increased mortality caused by policies that have produced poverty, social isolation, suicide, people not going to the doctor over financial concerns caused by the states attacking the economy.
We are looking at a 7% increase in mortality according to an official that estimated 200,000 deaths. That's a 7% increase. We can't shut down the economy every time there is a 7% volatility up or down in mortality.
