I think it's healthy to question the efforts taken to deal with the virus. I'm not arguing for or against the quarantines, but I do think people need to be aware of the tradeoffs being made. To save the maximum number of lives will require shutting down a substantial portion of the economy for 18 months until a vaccine is ready for distribution. This could save more than 2 million additional lives by recent estimates. There will also be substantial damage, and not just in terms of returns for shareholders. Livelihoods, retirement savings, and marriages will be destroyed. Lives will be taken by depression and unhealthy habits developed. This is going to be a very tough burden to bear.
