Not sure about that logic.
I think saving millions of peoples lives (by keeping things shut down for now) is more important than the economy at the moment.
Millions...is melodrama based on what we currently know.
This is part of the problem. Decisions have largely been made based on political WILL and the media has been doing everything possible to whip up hysteria and that drives the political will.
I expect within the next 2-4 weeks, the massive economic impact will cause people to reassess the media hysteria and the political equation will change to taking a more measured approach where we keep effective actions in place but otherwise reopen the economy.
