Another possibility, if you believe the Chinese numbers, is that group quarantine has a huge effect, as opposed to self-isolation. In that case, you’d have to concede that the cost of liberal democratic civil liberties is a 10x-100x higher naive fatality rate.

I figured. But the next thing is infection rate. If you have 50% infection and 10% fatality, that is 16.5 million people.

Yeah, I realize that. My tradeoff is based on severity of civil liberties restrictions under question. 16.5m dead vs North Korea style government? It’s a toss-up. You give up civil liberties you open the doors to things worse than viruses.
