It’s been a hard argument to convince people that if we would have treated it like the flu and carried on as business like normal just how much worse it might have been especially in the early weeks and months when it wasn’t clear what exactly we were up against.
I think you can look at India and realize it could have been so much worse under a business as usual approach.
Sure their health care system isn’t as comparable but a little old flu isn’t supposed to be sending that many to the hospital in the first place. And they have a generally young population at that.
Luckily for us we managed to do enough to avoid a complete collapse of the hospital system and the vaccines are doing a fantastic job even against the new nastier variants.
