What conditions have I changed to suit my argument? Simple question for you. Does the current situation with the economy largely shut down cost lives or not?

This banter back and forth is tiresome especially with someone who refutes evidence to start with. You ask questions that you don't really want truthful answers to. Tons of evidence to support that the shutdown has mitigated and slowed transmission. In other words, things would be much worse. You don't think that more sick or dead wouldn't be a drain on the economy? I'd provide links, but when anyone has done so you don't seem to think it has any value. So this is a moot point. Your arguments are largely baseless and completely slanted to so suit your agenda. If you think walking over bodies to save the economy is a good tactic, then I am thankful for the powers that be disagree with you. In any pandemic the most effective methods of control are quarantine to slow the progression and transmission. My teenager understands that. If you don't quarantine, things spread faster and more people die. It's not a difficult concept to grasp. Well, maybe it is to some... You obviously think what you want to think, Good luck to you.

So in other words you won't answer his simple question, which as he pointed out is at the very heart of this debate. In my opinion, lives will be lost either way. Which ones are more important?

Sigh.....If anyone thinks that more lives will be lost due to a down economy than the uncontrolled spread of the COVID virus there is no logic or evidence that can overcome that level of reality detachment. If the argument is to let a global pandemic that has managed to kill so many people in such a short amount of time, go uncontrolled, because to quarantine people in an effort to save lives would actually kill more people as a by product due to drug and alcohol addiction, then there is no point in answering that question. It's idiotic.
