You did an excellent job of ignoring the ever decreasing mortality rate in favor of simply saying "More cases means more deaths" as if the only acceptable way forward is zero deaths. How do you justify this?

You speak of a vaccine as if its a panacea, ignoring reality yet again. A.) Its efficacy will be questionable at best. B.) 50% of people won't get it. C.) We have a vaccine for the flu for decades and its still kills tens of thousands or possibly hundreds of thousands per year.

So how long do we hide?
