My point was more that, after preventing people from getting it which seems extremely difficult with drastic measures, remaining under the capacity to treat is perhaps the most important factor.
Which hospital is under capacity?
If there are spare ‘Covid-19’ beds that is just that, a spare bed. Equipment is in demand as are personnel. It’s these that make a bed into an Intensive Care Bed.
The Nightingale hospitals are not intensive care beds where you’d get a first class chance of survival. They’re an overflow car park for cases when the optimum care can’t be delivered.
You don’t want to use those hospitals.

I’m not suggesting that will be the outcome, just that it’s possible a vaccine could have a negative outcome. It was to counter what seemed to be positive speculation on your part.

Seemingly there is much more capacity available so my question is why do we not ease the lockdown. This will lead to deaths, but to say this is immoral misses the complexity to which you allude.
