No - it doesn’t justify it. And these types of numbers and more should be analyzed and published comprehensively. A current problem is that several places (NY, NJ, Quebec etc) completely screwed up dealing with senior residents earlier this year, resulting in a high number of deaths reportedly due to covid19. This scared everyone into believing they’re were all going to die. Now with ramped up testing available and the corresponding increase in positive results (not cases as usually reported), everyone is freaking out. If only folks could use their brain a little and sort thru all the garbage information we’d be in a much better situation.
Not to mention that the average age of death is like 80 years old give or take a bit depending on the country. Those deaths aren't even like adults or teens or whatever, it's the grandmas with heart disease and cancer living in a long term care home who were going to die within a year anyways.
Meanwhile car accidents, which take about 300 people per year in Alberta, make up a similar number of deaths but consist of people who had entire lives ahead of them. Probably like 30x as many years of life lost. Just for comparison.
Muh hospitals gonna get overrun though!!!
Being constructed in a lab as we speak!

Don’t forget decreased deaths from other causes, hmmm

To a person who is able to think no. To the fee fee crowd the world is ending.
