Well, no, simple mathematics tells us you're completely wrong.
lets say over an 18 month period of time with no lockdown in place there is an average death rate of 1000 per month giving us a total deaths count of 18,000
Now, lets say in 18 month period there is a three one month periods of lockdown which changes the death rate to 500 deaths per month. the months out of lock down the death rate stays as above at the initial example. 1000 per month. Do the maths?
Now, start using the something near the figures that are being presented to us on a daily basis and just think about how many lives are being saved over that time period.
We are going to be in and out of some sort of lockdown until if and when a successful vaccine.
Oh, and with regards to your earlier post about older people not being prepared to endure lockdown. Quite simply. Tough s**t, either do it, or face criminal proceedings.

It beggars belief how some of these shops get round the essential rule as one example was a spa that was sold to a customer who went in there.
Now l am not a expert but surely that is not classed as a essential purchase in my view.
That is just one example.

Oh Den....
You're allowed to buy luxury goods including alcohol. 'Essential purchases' went out of the window some weeks ago.
