All these more than valid concerns about the economy, which are felt also in Europe as well, should definitively render moot the point about the mortality of the virus.
Aside from the fact that even a few people dying is tragic (and they die alone, with a tube down their throat, not being able to see their loved ones one last time), look at what's happening with all these lockdowns. The regular activities, school included, are disrupted. Many businesses, especially the small ones, will face grave economical difficulties. Concerts are being cancelled and so sporting events - I believe that the last time all the national and international sporting events got suspended, Adolf friggin' Hitler was still alive.
This has to be fought and taken seriously even just for the economical disaster that it will inflict upon everyone. Imagine that next time a virus comes out and it's not lethal, but, dunno, makes you so weak that you need to be hospitalized for two weeks straight because you need to be treated or fed with tubes or whatever. Imagine that it has the same capability of propagation of the Covid-19. Even if no one would die, we'd still have a lot of people being hospitalized at the same time, and many people missing from work at the same time (infect a teacher, a whole school is closed, infect a supermarket worker, that store has to be closed, infect a sport player, the tournament gets suspended, and so on). The need to stop and quarantine everyone would still be the same even if nobody was dying.
