In this pandemic, inaction costs lives. The logical and ethical thing to do is evaluate the cost/benefit and choose the path that kills fewer people. You wouldn't say "we should exit the burning house one at a time in case we get hit by a meteor outside, caution here is the logical and ethical thing"; you're making the same kind of logical error, just with a less-absurd difference between the risk of the two options we need to choose between.
