We don't know the virus is not serious for most of the population. We know most of the population won't die of it in 2-3 months. We have evidence of lung damage, increased risk of stroke, and a slew of other things which /are/ serious, and may impact a broader segment of the population. We've redefined "serious" to mean in an ICU, on a ventilator, within a few weeks of catching it (or in some cases, we've defined "serious" to mean dead within a few weeks). By that definition, AIDS isn't serious for most of the population. There is a distinct lack of ROI calculations, but my ROI calculations lean towards a much stricter shutdown than we have in place right now, together with thoughtful actions to protect the economy.
