Unpopular opinion, but I do wonder exactly where is the inflection point wherein allowing the economy to melt down kills more people over a five-year period (mostly low-income) vs. restarting the economy and accepting some extra immediate deaths.

I say unpopular because most people will interpret me as advocating for the immediate deaths, but I think it’s a genuine question. Where is that inflection point — because there definitely is one — and how do we estimate that?

It’s important to think about, I feel, even if people despise the question. Just because a death happens 3-5 years from now doesn’t make it less important.
