The virus at most means tens of millions dead and this can be spread over a period as not to destroy the economy and give time to adjust but we know now it should not reach those numbers if we act intelligently. |
If we just had the virus spread globally, additionally to the tens of millions dead we'd also have hundreds of millions ill people who couldn't work for a while and the health system would collapse. The economy would be affected by that also a lot.
So there wasn't the option to just ignore the virus to keep the economies prospering by sacrifying ~1% of the world population for that.
