There are some very bad long term outcomes for some survivors of Covid-19 that don’t seem to be part of the discussion either.
It appears that elements of the public have decided that economic bounty trumps public health. So far even the worst of the pandemic has occurred with social awareness and social controls to one degree or another. If we are going to ignore those then the second wave will be much worse than the first.
