It doesn't sound good, but I think it would be a attractive.

The current death toll is around 170K, so we are talking a 300k difference.

Deaths associated with loss of work and restricted access to healthcare will certainly exceed that by the time we lift restrictions. So the sooner we get to 480k, the better.

That said, I don't have much confidence in the 480k number.

"Deaths associated with loss of work and restricted access to healthcare will certainly exceed that by the time we lift restrictions". Any proofs?
