This is really the crux of the matter. Discussions right now seem to be one-sided -- dominated by immediate epidemiological models of human harm -- but it may well be that the long term effects of massive prolonged unemployment ultimately cause more human harm, possibly even more deaths (due to depression, substance abuse and other illnesses of despair, secondary effects of crime, secondary effects of homelessness, possibly starvation/malnutrition in some parts of the world, etc.). I don't know what the answer is, but I hope that policymakers are weighing the big picture here and considering econometric models as well as immediate medical ones.
