      Yes, and we minimize the damage through a lockdown.

      Because no matter how hard it is to adapt to the lockdown, adapting to mass illness and death is bound to be harder.

      Lockdown or something like it may well be the best minimisation strategy—depending on where you are. Indeed I'm inclined to think it is here

      But it's far from obvious, and I'm suspicious of this kind of armchair reasoning.

      A temporary wave of mass death (especially if they're largely people who would soon have died anyway) could well be easier to recover from.

      And as I've pointed out: just as both forks in our path lead to economic ruin, both lead to mass illness and death.

      And there is diminishing marginal disutility—in terms of economic impact—on these deaths. That is to say...

      The economic impact of 10,000 deaths will not be anything like twice as bad as the economic impact of 5,000.

      Did you just learn about the term "diminishing marginal utility" and think it's some kind of universal law of economics that applies to everything man Fucking A There can be both diminishing AND INCREASING marginal utilities (or disutilities)

      Just like there are both economies and diseconomies of scale You don't know which one it is until you actually look at the situation

      You didn't even think this through, disutility means going in the opposite direction of utility For something that has a generally diminishing marginal utility, taking it AWAY has generally INCREASING marginal DISutility

          I.e. if going from having $0 to $50k changes your life more than going from $50k to $100k, then once you do have $100k, taking away the first $50k hurts you less than taking away the second $50k Because it's the same thing, it's the same graph going in the opposite direction
