We are purposefully plunging our economy into a recession. Millions unemployed, families homeless & hungry, widespread suffering. We’ll see if it was worth it in the end. Im not so sure it will be.
Of course it won't be "worth it": once poor and famished, people will be even sicker, and unable to afford their next medical emergency. Any live "saved" through confinement will be two lives lost next year through poverty. Hygiene plus testing, not confinement is the solution.
