Again, you're still thinking CV deaths are the only deaths that matter.
Why do you think that? You keep saying do we want our loved ones to die of CV or not care about others who do die of it?
But let's take your approach - Do you not care about people dying now and who will die of treatable illnesses that can't access treatment? Or the people dying now and who will die due to the socioeconomic effects of the CV response?
If you're going to pluck numbers out of the air, what if we look back in 5 years and 100,000 died of CV and 300,000 died because of the response?
Would that have been justified to you?
Do you want someone you love to die of cancer in a year because they weren't diagnosed early enough? Do you want someone you love to kill themselves in 2 years because mental health services have been even more decimated than previously? Do you want someone you love to starve to death in a hostel because of further cuts to housing and unemployment benefits (happened under austerity measures and what we're facing now is going to be far worse). Someone you love dying of diabetes in 10 years when they started to become obese during lockdown? Someone you loved who was depressed by lockdown, lost their job and started drinking too much which becomes an addiction and a threat to health and a million other reasons...
No-one wants anyone to die. But people are dying every day as a result of the CV response and most, not from CV itself. And there will be deaths for many years far after CV has become another illness we live alongside.
How much 'tighter and longer' do you want lockdown to be?
