This assumes, quite wrongly I think, that the cost of the pandemic would have been 0 without any restriction. Indeed, Sweden shows us that this is not true, because they also saw substantial economic damage. I certainly wouldn't go to a restaurant right now, even if I would be allowed to. Would you? In fact, if we would have indeed 10 times the death rate, the impact on the economy could very well be larger.
