I apologize if I misunderstood your intent. I can see other ways of interpreting what you said.

I originally took your point to be that the current risks, although sad, are acceptable and we face greater peril from slowing down economic activity.

Although I see trade-offs to everything I see economic activity fundamentally as in service to the quality of life of a person and would rather take the sadness of losing greater economic gains to the sadness losing significantly more people.

There is always a balance to this and I could interpret what you said as having a different perspective on what the current risks are but without additional context, I took it as I did.
