Well yes-if projected deaths of over-70s are high enough-and they seem to be. Even @HMDatMI says "If 1 percent of the US population becomes infected, under a 0.3 percent fatality rate, 10,000 people would die." Now do 30 % infected-or the 60% required for herd immunity. Too high. https://t.co/zvK5xEWRlC
