If you just let the virus run its course you would have so many extremely sick people at once that it would overrun the health care systems in every country. Many more people than just COVID patients would die, and the death rate of COVID patients would go way up due to inadequate care.
The fallout from letting the virus run its course is way beyond taking the current rates and extrapolating to the entire worldwide population.

It’s not lockdown vs. reopening in terms of damage, but a competent, thorough response when this first emerged vs. mitigating the deaths and injuries from not having acted appropriately at the outset.
