but any this virus death toll is unacceptable.
You will not get anywhere with this reasoning. The idea is that if anyone not wearing a mask, not going through latex gloves and sanitizing rituals, but instead chewing gum and slobbering on a swipe, etc. is a murderer because of their non-efforts to flatten the curve. But really it means someone hopes not be exposed to 19. And then they won’t die. Or someone they love won’t die. Altruism? Not really.
It’s like a directv commercial of slippery slope reasoning. Even with the flattening curve logic. It very much appears to me that commerce is down, less traffic, very much suppressed sociality—hard to quantify, but many people, including myself, appear to be laying low, flattening the curve. But all we hear here are the tragedies of olds hugging, millennials crossing shopping carts and stink eye, and girls chewing gum, etc. (Sorry, not all we hear. Much support for those still in the swarm, may people lend their support.)
Yes, things will get worse and people will die, but you are not allowed to cough or else you’re a murderer, because every sperm is sacred. If we can save one life then any amount of turmoil and social upheaval is worth it, and anyone saying anything different is a scumbag inhuman whatever.
Get used to it.
