Why is "3million dead in the next 6 months" the government's plan? What do they gain from this that justifies the billions if not trillions in collateral damage on the economy?
What they think is:
Accelerating the spread and having more deaths faster reduces the longterm economic impact. Extended lockdown + saving lives = harsher economic impact. Yes, the 3million deaths will have an economic impact, but 90% of those deaths will be ages 65+.
Accelerating the spread means that the USA will have a greater population in the year 2030 than they would have if the spread had been slowed to save lives at a greater economic cost.
I'm not sure if they are right about all that, all I know is that's the plan they are going for.
