I think it outweighs the economic damage.
But aside from that, we need the capability to hit the pause button on the economy during similar future events. What if for example a more extreme one in the future threatened to kill 10% of the population and required a significantly longer lockdown. By having a dry-run (in comparison) now, we might be much more prepared.
