Here's the next big question people will be seeking the answer for:


"How many lives did all our preventative measures save?"

In other words, had we done nothing, how many would have died, statistically speaking?

All we have right now are models that show the impact of social distancing, eliminating gatherings and travel, reducing our radius of movement, etc. So we know that there is less spreading and therefore less deaths.

But I don't think we'll ever know the true impact of our preventative measures, other than 'we saved a lot of lives.'
