The post I originally responded to was extreme. I hate these sorts of things because all they do is promote hysteria.

The point I'm making is very little is permanent. This is all terrible, but the fact that people have lost and will lose earning potential is an unavoidable trade off. I would say the same thing if I lost my job.

I'm sure you and others will say that it's avoidable, because it seems therein lies the fundamental disagreement here. Uncertain levels of death/potential death vs. economic impact. It's a tough decision, especially if you've dealt with COVID death personally.
