Nobody wants to lose a loved one, but sorry, saving 10,000 or a 100,000 just to kill 2 or 3 million and turn the US into Venezuela makes no sense. But that’s just me, I guess.

And you are right. Hospitals outside of a couple hotspots are absolutely EMPTY, and a lot of them will be closing their doors, or at least putting a lot of healthcare workers on the street.
Indeed! My dad has to stay home and pee blood because the hospital cannot/will not take him. One small example, But it's real to me.
