Oh it's a shit show and it's possible to have months of economic pain due to measures to slow the spread followed by a second peak once those measures are lifted. Let granny die is a hard sell. Also allowing healthcare systems be overwhelmed will have its own effects.

Not at some point Robot, its a trade-off we’re already making. We are not in stasis while in quarantine, we are slowly dying day-by-day. Its tough to talk about, because I know most people live better lives when not confronted with their own mortality. But its the reality.

fuck refers to an inability to identify where we are along this trade-off margin

At a certain point, though, output = lives. Do you want to die of this disease, or do you want to die of famine? Or plague / typhoid / dysentery / etc when everything breaks down because we’ve destroyed the entire economy?
