40,000 people die for every 1% increase in unemployment

Granted that usually means more permanent unemployment than losing your job for two weeks to a month. And furthermore can mean having the stress of wondering if you're ever going to get another job again.
But I wonder if this coronavirus scare could kill more people than it saves.

85 people out of 320,000,000 is really no big deal.

When you go to the grocery store you’re killing old people

If they cause a depression the cure will be worse than the disease, no doubt.

Can you provide a reference or link? I like to review the data sources and assumptions of macroeconomic projections.

You’re making fun of him for stealing a line from the big short and rightfully so. But it’s not hard to imagine a country saying at a certain point, only .5% death rate is not as bad as allowing our economy to tank and causing a Great Depression. 7 million starved to death during the Great Depression.
It’s not far fetched once we reach a certain point.

It's from the Big Short.
Another thing I'd like to add is that middle aged people would be the ones dying from unemployment.
While I'm not trying to demean old people, it's not like the people dying from coronavirus had a whole lot of years ahead of them anyway.
