wonder how much total loss of well-being from lockdowns would weigh against number of deaths. what's the utilitarian break even point here
wonder where we're at in terms of that

@miftah___ra These estimates say in Jakarta there are from 23% to 59% of the deaths expected when herd immunity is reached.
One could use those to estimate the costs of lockdowns.

@amir I tried to Fermi estimate around that here https://twitter.com/ecree429/status/1348608399999709185
Conclusion I came to was that lockdowns are a terrible idea. Granted, I already thought that before doing the calculation, but still...
these are evil, evil thoughts and somebody's gotta think 'em
