Even for people that are only thinking in terms of profits and economy, if too many people die, there will be no economy at all.. People on top of social structures: government, corporations, etc, are working like pavlovian dogs unaware that the rules of the old normal doesn't apply to the new normality. Or its just a matter of a corrupt system that is organically formed over power and money that is completely oblivious about the values they should all stand for.
