Whatever the value turns out to be (and remember, this value changes depending upon the level and quality of care available), there are certain realities that need to be faced up to.

Another sobering statistic is that 14 percent of confirmed cases in Spain are healthcare workers.Quote:
Spain currently has more than 47,500 confirmed cases of COVID-19, fourth behind China, Italy and the United States. On Tuesday alone, the number of new confirmed cases shot up by nearly 6,600.
On Wednesday, the country’s death toll eclipsed that of China, jumping by more than 700 in one day. In the capital, Madrid, the rapid increase in deaths from the disease has forced city authorities to commandeer an indoor ice-skating rink for use as a makeshift morgue.
I know this is directed at lazygun, but a lot of your posts cause a similar reaction in my own mind. You seem to be discounting the fact that a pandemic isn't just about people getting sick and dying, but that it can paralyze an economy without any government coercion.
