Just to slow the spread so hospitals can try and keep up with the dead bodies or what Sort of. Roughly 1 out of 2 people that need ventilators recover and live through the experience. However, they NEED the ventilators to survive. If the hospitals get overwhelmed and don't have enough ventilators, then suddenly we need to start rationing care and the potential fatality rate will increase up to two fold. That is just for ventilators. What if hospitals start running out of sick beds? Suddenly people who need treatment for other stuff will receive a worse standard of care, leading to worse outcomes, etc. It is very important not to get everyone sick at once. Also, it will start to build up herd immunity which will dampen the spread in the future. --- Moops? "I thought you were making up diseases? That's spontaneous dental hydroplosion." ...
