Expect to see a phased “back to work” plan in two weeks or so when our pipeline for meds is working. Young people who can also avoid high viral loads will go first. #coronaviruspic.twitter.com/1vLcBDXZd3

You must first specify how many lives are saved by destroying the economy. Then we calculate how many more would die from a devastated economy. You're just exchanging 1 death from the virus (which you see) with 10 deaths from economy (which you don't see).
Deaths from lack of healthcare resources (u wont see) due to corona. Curious how economy crashing temporarily would cause huge amounts of death in america.
I like to ask about bathtubs and swimming pools, which kill a lot of children and don't have a clear utilitarian value like cars do. If one doesn't support banning bathtubs an swimming polls, does that make make them heartlessly indifferent to dead children?
So why do we keep larding on more and more "safety" features in cars if 50,000 is OK?
Because 300,000 is not OK. Life is analog. Not binary. Everything is done on a risk/benefit ratio.
Fair question
Would you be willing to make the driving age 22 if that would cut that number in half?
Still a poor comparison, Scott. That's = ~150,000 deaths from COVID on a years of life lost perspective. Loss of life at older age is not equal to loss of life at younger age.
How many died from hiv and we did nothing?
