I agree with you, on Corona specifically, but just for thought I want to add that we all, at some point, are inclined to put the economy and/or everyone's comfort over saving human life. It's always a debate about scope, not about principle. How much economic or societal damage is worth how much life.

Case in point, we wouldn't go into full lockdown modes and halt the economy to fight the flu, even if that would save several lifes a year. (This is not me comparing Corona to the flu or claiming we should open up in Covid times as well.)
