When it really happens: SHTF...

I'm starting to wonder about the motivation of people and groups that come up with such studies as above. Sit in your house and do nothing and we all live. Until we don't of course as the food supply drys up and the money runs out. Go out as normal and massive deaths but no one is suggesting we go out as normal. They even state that they aren't taking into account social distancing etc with the worst case scenarios yet they post them anyway.

"The researchers admit their bleak predictions are pessimistic as they do not factor in preventative measures."

Every one of those graphs factors in NO PREVENTATIVE MEASURES. No masks, not social distancing, no hand washing. I suspect they also don't take into account that a significant portion of the at risk population has already died and they can't die twice.

We are slowly finding out that nearly 3/4's of all deaths are occurring in retirement communities. and the last quarter is mostly elderly that don't live in retirement communities.
