Two Deaths Delayed Is One Death Denied

Back in April, I saw some people making the argument that social distancing is a bad idea. They claimed that it would only delay the inevitable, and that herd immunity was the only plausible endgame. One fewer Covid-19 death today would mean one more death in the future.

We still don’t know many things about Covid-19, but one thing we now know for sure is that this argument is wrong.
