Well of course he didn't stop smoking and died. So much money lost going to the doctor, too. That was totally pointless! Thanks for nothing, science!"That's... not an equivalent at all. If we made it the equivalent then the guy does stop smoking and dies of lung cancer anyway. Was it pointless for him to stop smoking, or did stopping when he did at least prolong his life as compared to not quitting? Saying we didn't "flatten the curve" suggests it was pointless to try. The curve could have been far less flat if we did nothing, and not acknowledging that fact isn't helpful. --- "If you ever feel good about yourself, just look on the Internet." - Ryan Reynolds ...
