To be fair, the cost of COVID medical care pales in comparison to the likely impact on future earnings these shutdowns are having.

If it's strictly about money, we should cease shutdowns immediately. But, it's not. People are dying.

> it's not about money in my opinion and is about deaths

Are you aware of the fact that people die every day to e.g. deliver groceries to your store, harvest plants, build houses etc pp? Do we shut down all activity that will lead to somebody somewhere losing their life?
