People who say that the cure is worse than the disease must be forgetting that thousands are dying and hospitals are at the breaking point right now, with the measures we've taken. With no measures, it would be worse, and it would be getting much worse (and Sweden might be an example if lighter measures, but there are still fairly strict measures that would have dire consequences for the economy anyway). This isn't a choice between strict measures and recession, because the recession would be happening anyway. Do you think everyone would be going on holiday? Going out to shop?
