    If 5 die, then entire economy collapses anyway.

    Shutting down the pub means only 1 dies and the economy can recover.

    The data shows that where the pubs stayed open the economy didnt do as bad. (Job claims) not stocks.

    Mom and Pop stores. Their fuel is always cheaper anyway.

    One last time - Sweeden and Denmark are comparable countries in most metrics pre-pandemic. Denmark locked down, Sweeden did not. They are both experiencing a similar level of economic distruption but Denmark lost fewer people.

    Please post a link.

    Also please recognize that a hyppthetical thought experiment meant to illustrate a concept is not going to match the current scenario lock step. Especially one typed on a phone.

    The R0 (R nought, which is a measure of the transmissibility of a disease) for the Ebola outbreak in 2013-2016 (the most wide-spread in history) is 1.5-1.9. The R0 of COVID-19 has been estimated to be as high as 3.28, but may be closer to 2.5.
