I wonder what the difference in death rates are between types of people? I think this would be an interesting metric to see if there are groups that are more vulnerable than others. Finland has hardly locked down over the last 8 months in comparison to Australia, but the rates of death are equally low. In Finland, there has been less than 100 deaths since May, but if you look out on the streets and in the shops, people aren't exactly "sanitary" in their habits.

I also question what is happening to people through the lockdowns and what will change in their habits to make them more susceptible to other negative conditions. There are plenty of bad backs going on at the moment for example - that has ramifications to quality of life for the rest of life potentially.

After the crash on 2008, the government was looking (or did - can't remember) to cut the cost of school food served to kids (it is normal here) by giving lower quality to save 2 million euros a year. a couple years later they spent between 12-20B on fighter planes.

Society tires me out and perhaps we need an asteroid to put us out of our self-inflicted misery.
