Proposing a new concept. It’s called your “Death Number.” Your Death Number is the number of deaths of your fellow Americans you’re willing to accept to save, say, 1000 jobs. For context, we’ve lost around 461 jobs for every 1 death so far. What’s *your* Death Number?

Bit of a false dichotomy, that. Many of the jobs would be lost regardless of action. Some deaths may have occurred regardless also. Can't work out a realistic ratio if both sides of the equation are suspect

So you think that sufficient thinking on the balance of risks of opening vs waiting has been achieved already?

Oh not at all. From my distant impressions in Australia, it seems like the reopening in many states of the US has been bizarre. I just don't think a single "Death Number" would be possible to reasonably calculate
