If you read my post again I never said millions will die I said if we did nothing they would. I understand that 10-15% of people infected need to go to the hospital if we had many more cases the hospital wouldn’t be able to handle it.

All I was saying it was better to treat it as we did because we only have lost a few lives, but what if we didn’t take these measures? Do you know what would of happened? Because I don’t, by looking at the stats we know atm 650k cases 32k dead that is 5% death rate (prolly more cases that aren’t confirmed so let’s go with 3%) use those figures and estimate that 1/4 of the population got it 1.75B and 3% of them die (3% of 1.75B) around 52 million deaths. That is what could of happened if left unchecked. So yeah I am glad they did something.

If - is a big word at present - and you are not quoting numbers that are happening here - we have 16 people dead at present -
Remember we are an island and have closed borders - the projection of numbers and the lather that the media - (most of them are around 30 and relatively uniformed about a lot of stuff ) are having a field day-
Stay home take a panadol-

We are not treating all the cases in the whole world-
