> All of the coronavirus deaths have been people that were going to die anyway.
Yes, all the doctors in China in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who died were just gonna die anyways, so who cares? For that matter, everyone's going to die, so it really doesn't matter, right? I'm hoping my sarcasm is apparent in my tone here, but if not; your argument is both counter-factual and full of fallacy.
> The vast majority of them have been people that were going to die soon, if not of coronavirus then of something else.
Again, this is BS.
> Is the mass panic really sensible in the face of this?
Panic isn't, but taking quick, decisive, and committed action is the only way that a crisis can be averted. If you don't understand this, I imagine you haven't had to deal with life or death decisions before. This all may blow over, but the facts DO NOT support that outlook. They all point to a bend in the hockey stick, and if we don't have a strong plan of action to mitigate this, people you know, and people I know, will die.
> The first sentence you quoted is irrefutably correct, and will remain so as long as immortality is not achieved.
Glad you agree. I imagine most of those doctors in their 20s-40s had at least 40 years of life left. Really interesting to hear that half a lifetime fits in your definition of "soon".
> If you believe the second sentence is BS, please provide evidence.
See my statement above, which extrapolates on a fact that you agree is "irrefutable".
Feel free to respond to my third paragraph as well, so as not to avoid the most important issue in this argument.
