Honest question but do you at all believe there are side effects from the lockdown ie suicide, financial failure and loss of dreams, rising of opiod use, starvation/poverty? Is this not important? You know damn well there's gonna be a 2nd wave and we know who it actually kills. I mean we've been thru several diseases like the Hong Kong Flu ( racist name btw right ) and have never reacted like this which has to make anybody wonder if there is undertones to all of this.
Of course there are side effects. Most of these come back to the strength of other parts of the country's infrastructure and in the following years, the countries we all say "XYZ handled this really well" will be the ones that acted decisively against the virus but also had these complementary systems in place. Aside from the death toll, this coronavirus is and will continue to expose a lot of systematic problems that a lot of countries have. I remember a financial analyst quipped a couple of years ago that a rising tide lifts all boats, but equally when the tide goes out we also see who's been swimming naked. To these side effects you mentioned, the tide's going out. As it always does in one way or another. These effects are genuinely terrible and I hope you'll be here in the future talking about how to bolster the related systems.
What's more costly is doing nothing. Sweden's already had 396 deaths per million, compared with neighbouring Denmark's 97, Finland's 55 and Norway's 43 (and Iceland's 29 just to round off the Nordics). And despite their geographic advantages, their fire's still burning while Denmark, Norway and Iceland are looking to reopen. Even a 1% death rate means there can easily be a million deaths in the US if you do nothing. If you look at the abnormal death rates around the world, the coronavirus death rates are probably being underreported if anything. And all of that says nothing about the impact on hospital capacity (we all saw how quickly many systems have been overwhelmed - swimming naked) and the flow-on effects from that (doctors not being able to see people for other stuff, a generation of medical staff getting PTSD for life, and so on) or the disability rate (remembering that this is a disease that goes after your lungs, so a significant amount of people who recover have health issues down the line).
Even the idea that the only people who die are the ones who are old and/or have preexisting conditions (I think that's what you're implying by "we know who it actually kills" so correct me if I'm misreading that) misses the point. 25% of global deaths have been people under 65 to date, which is still statistically significant. But that also doesn't take into account the other effects I mentioned. There isn't a dichotomy between the economy and fighting the virus. Iran and Brazil have famously tried to ignore the virus in the name of protecting their economy and look how it's working out for them. Let this coronavirus run rampant and those side effects you mentioned come back into the picture anyway.
The difference between this virus and the other recent ones has been how much it spreads. People got symptoms before becoming contagious, so they could take a bit of time off. We're only a matter of weeks removed from getting a first-hand lesson in how exponential growth works and people have forgotten it already.
Lockdowns have been a proven strategy all around the world since at least the time of the Black Plague. All I'm saying is that it's not crazy for the Michigan governor to keep it gong for a couple more weeks.
