Much of what you say is true, but the 110,000 wouldn't be a one-off, the 270,000 is. You can't just make that comparison as a numerical one alone.zico wrote:
So - if we all became super-healthy and fit with great doctors, early diagnoses and no waiting times, we'd save 110,000 lives.
Compare that with the actions taken since the start of the pandemic, where we've almost certainly saved 270,000+ lives.
In addition you need to look at both sides of the analysis, the costs and the benefits. Those 270,000 lives saved might have come at a cost 10 times greater than the measures to save the 110,000. Without addressing those flaws, and just focusing on the literal numbers, your conclusions are logically suspect.
