  1. Also, the lockdowns may cause anywhere from 27K to 154K "deaths of despair." This needs to be talked about more and factored in to policy making. All of the focus is on projected lives saved but I don't see much talk about the lives sacrificed to save those lives. It's not an insignificant number.
