There are externalized costs besides death though, like the resources deployed in the search and rescue effort. In the case of aviation you can also cause collateral damage or death.

"slow the spread down slightly to reduce impact on the healthcare system" is pretty important during these big waves. Banning outdoor gatherings is probably overkill though, I believe the worst places still have maskless indoor activities.
