People's lives are worth millions of dollars. Each. Government estimates are around $5 million per life. It's the coronavirus causing economic damage, customers dying or having to stay home to avoid dying is bad for business. I don't know what planet this is not obvious to people on. Fastest way to address this is to quickly contain & suppress the virus -- isolation, testing, tracing, eradication -- after which careful & gradual reopening can occur. Of course this requires a competent government; a functioning health system would help too. So would a government capable of supporting businesses to put employees on paid furlough, pause interest on mortgages & debts, issue stimulus efficiently, etc. Many other countries are able to accomplish much of this -- unfortunately the US is largely not. Substantially due to the extractive capitalist/ monopolist attitudes of greed & "money at any cost" seen right above.
