What happened to flu BTW? Disappeared for two years, amazing.
15 million is the number of people in the UK with existing conditions.

Of course, this entire debate is flawed because it assumes everything we have been through was about saving the lives, whereas the focus around the world seems to have primarily have been to keep hospitalisations low enough that health services aren't completely overwhelmed, and the population isn't so sick all at once that society grinds to a halt from supply chain issues etc.

Flattening the curve was the goal, not saying the elderly. That just happened to be a side benefit, as elderly lives are still valuable to the vast majority of people despite what you might believe yourself.
