Mortality rates would be known and kept to the minimum possible with the reality of the virus

Then none of this would be necessary, all of the economic devastation this will cost the lost jobs and wages and upcoming bailouts would be avoided — we’d go to work and of course some people would get sick overwhelming most would never know another chunk would recover after mild or hard symptoms and a theoretically small supposedly morally acceptable amount (like with the flu and everything else we do knowing it will kill peiple) would die, and that’s that
