Two things. First, low != zero. Second, it isn’t always about taking the most pragmatic approach but the most humanitarian one.

People during this whole pandemic have been very cavalier with putting others at risk to not get inconvenienced. “Your kid probably won’t die” is not a winning argument.

Your false statement is that people are just inconvenienced. Younger generations will be picking up the tab for our actions.

If you are talking about the lost economic opportunity then you truly need to weigh that against the lives lost and ones that were saved and provide a very rigorous justification why you are ok sacrificing human lives for that particular cause.
