Are you saying you don't believe poverty has a direct link to mortality? That's been repeatedly proven across a wide range of different sources. http://news.mit.edu/2016/study-rich-poor-huge-mortality-gap-us-0411 http://news.mit.edu/2016/study-rich-poor-huge-mortality-gap-... Or are you saying that forcing businesses to close leading to layoffs, bankruptcies and foreclosures (which has already begun) don't cause poverty? The scientists recommending lockdowns totally disregard these facts, among other health impacts of being forced to stay home (mental and physical).

No, I'm saying that you've presented a false dichotomy, that we should be solving the COVID problem, and that if you think the solution needs to be amended or extended in ways that mitigate associated poverty-based mortality, you should present those amendments instead of treating the issue as a reason to do nothing.
