Im not saying you are wrong. And as the ICU’s are no empty some colleagues are arguing to open things up “we will fill our ICU’s with the next wave, save who we can and bury who we can’t” Again, I’m not saying this is wrong per se ( due to reasons mentioned though I find t hard to believe halacha would support sucha n approach) but this is your plan be clear about it: Yes more people will die but less people than protracted economic downturn and delayed cancer treatments etc. .

B will infect 1000 people and 500 will die ie a 50% fatality rate (eg Ebola) would you say B is worse since fatality rate is 50%
