I think there is a really giant leap between comparing an economists statistical value of a persons life, and some number that we guess might be the "damage to the economy". What I'm suggesting is that we make sure we have food security, make sure we can provide medial care to the best of our ability, then pay whatever it costs to save peoples lives. I would pay every sent I have to stay alive. I think most people would. I think the governments should take the same approach. And yes, sure, most of the time it's super hard to decide what to do, but for this virus, we know all you have to do it isolate from each other for a few months. It's not even that hard. --- As a side note I can't wait till somebody uses that 10m figure and applies it to deaths as a result of obesity. You think social isolation is hard, you should try giving up sugar, now that is hard!
