You might be right, but, the perspective you're describing basically advocates disregarding the lives of those at risk of a COVID death in favor of making more money. How much does a life cost? In the rest of the world that basically failed to contain the virus, it wasn't a question to begin with, since lockdowns didn't really work. China was somewhat successful in its lockdowns because it had ways to enforce the admittedly draconian measures -- so, how much does a life cost?
