The economic and wider long term impact on society will far outweigh the negligible reduction in mortality numbers.
eh, says who? And how is a pandemic with a mortality rate of up to 5% depending hugely on resources and response going to ever go undetected?

Can't help but feel that we'd have been better off if Covid-19 had gone completely undetected.
Just... no.

Can't help but feel that we'd have been better off if Covid-19 had gone completely undetected. The level of mass panic and hysteria is almost certainly increasing the strain on the health services unnecessarily as loads of time and resources are being wasted on people who haven't got it. That's not to mention the catastrophic impact the containment measures will have on so many small businesses, casual workers, freelancers etc. The economic and wider long term impact on society will far outweigh the negligible reduction in mortality numbers.
