So Weird, reading your comment reminded me of how this is similar to how the immune system of an infected host can react with such ferocity that it kills the host. Like a Cytokine storm or a persistently high fever.
Imagine if our reaction to this disease, to prevent human death and suffering... will cause so much poverty, hardship, and social instability that the outcome is more human death and suffering, than if we had just let the virus run its course and had just gone about our daily lives accepting the losses.
I sure hope we are doing the right thing. Makes you wonder.
