Serious question: Why do positive cases with no symptoms now count more than deaths? Doesn't herd immunity rely partly on people getting it and developing some immunity? Why don't we protect those at danger of death (elderly and those with pre-existing conditions) instead of trying to "stop the spread" instead of "flattening the curve" like we were originally told?
If there really are hundreds of thousands of unreported asymptomatic cases that's a
good thing for developing herd immunity.
Meanwhile, at least 10,000 more deaths from cancer are predicted because of the pandemic, which seems to be perfectly acceptable.

We've gone insane and lost all common sense and perspective.
