Ending all civilization, yes, would save Covid deaths. It's one thing where you're talking about 2,000 deaths a day as in the beginning of the pandemic with no vaccines or treatments.
While I believe every life is precious, there are so many different levels of mitigation that are available between full out "let er rip" and "anyone leaving the house goes to the camp."
We are talking about Shanghai residents seeing pillowcases full of pets clubbed to death and people locked in their houses eating elmer's glue.
There's so little critical thinking. Everything is a pure binary view: Closed or open. On or off. If it doesn't stop everything, better to do nothing.
