I would also like to point out that I am completely over people who think that the mortality rate should be applied to 100% of the population
The freaking disease isn't going to have a 100% infection rate.
Yeah that's a bit silly which is why the 3.4 million number or whatever the guy threw out didn't really make much sense.
It could have a 50% infection rate or greater if we just simply ignored it (which we obviously aren't doing)

Now I get to be callous.
If we assume a 50% total infections in the US. And we assumed it kills 1.4% of those people which is probably very pessimistic.
And we pretend that our actions will actually cut the number by 25% who would die if we did nothing...... That yields and number of 630000 give or take
There is absolutely a point at which crushing the economy is not worth that number. And let's be honest. That was a highly pessimistic hypothetical in terms of total numbers in a highly optimistic hypothetical in terms of percentage saved
