        gollark: At some point you'll have to make tradeoffs, because going for "maximize lives saved right now at all costs" is a really terrible strategy.
        gollark: Strategies which minimize COVID deaths in the short run wouldn't be very good if they totally collapsed the economy after a while. Especially since this is likely to stick around for a while.
        gollark: The economy *does matter*, though, even in a "lives saved" sense. As someone on the interweb put it:> Damage to productivity eventually results in damage to people, since we use part of our productivity to preserve life.
