If 7bn people got seasonal flu, 14m would die, also a big number... But it is highly improbable in both cases. I agree some measures need to be taken to flatten trajectory and spread the ilness over longer period of time, to give hospitals time and resources to provide adequate care, but restricting everyone's movements will do more harm to everyone. Every economy depends on private sector and if you shut it down for several months, where is money going to come from, for salaries of those working in hospitals, police, fire departments, etc... Debt? Why I partly understand and still tolerate this madness is that people are irresponsible and stupid in general so if they get sick, they dont isolate themselves. Just the other day I read about a fucking guy who threw a party while he was covid positive. Or an olderly couple at the gas station casually mentioning to the owner it mighytbe for the best to disinfect the restroom key he had previously given them, since both have covid.
Potentially deadly yes. Even if it's not the bubonic plague, it still has the ability to kill people. As it pertains to the point about the economy running as usual, I just don't think that's likely. Everyone has parents and grandparents so the odds that they would risk transmitting this virus just to go to restaurants, movies, mindless shopping, etc. is really low IMO.
The economy will be affected regardless IMO.

You do realize that with 1% mortality, 35 million people will die if 50% of the world is infected. If unchecked, most models predict that virus will infect more than 60-70% of the population in most countries.
Besides, the number of hospitalizations will be 10-20 times that high. Can you imagine 100s of millions of people requiring ICU treatment at the same time. No country in the world is prepared to handle those kind of numbers.

FIGC President Gabriele Gravina has confirmed that there will be a Scudetto winner this season, despite there being still no sign of a resumption.
Gravina has always maintained that the 2019-20 campaign will be completed, although the outbreak of coronavirus in Italy keeps an abandonment a very real possibility.
“There’s a plan, to which we’ve given absolute priority,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“We’d all be happy to finish the season on the pitch. We’re in contact with FIFA for contract extensions if we need to go beyond June 30.
“We have to find a solution and the ideal one would be to go until July 30. We must comply with regulations and what comes from the highest political and scientific offices.
“If we can’t play, we’d still like to preserve the value of the sporting competition that took place on the field.
“We’re talking about where the Scudetto would go, but it’s for the Federal Council to decide.
“We still have to reach a conclusion for next season’s line-up of teams, from the European competitions to promotions and relegations.”
