How many millions of people have lost their job because we have shut down the economy? and we are treating it like its just another flu?
Many more would have died without the lockdown, social distancing, mask wearing & other safety measures (e.g. hand washing).
IOW if C-19 had always been treated as "just another flu", many - MANY - more deaths would have occurred already.
Not only that, but many hospitals would have been overwhelmed. Leading to many more - non C-19 - deaths because the overwhelmed hospitals couldn't handle both C-19 emergency cases and non C-19 emergency cases, leaving the latter to die.
Who can say how much panic and civil unrest that would have caused.
Furthermore, the economy probably would have been worse off in the long run.
Leave the experts to do their jobs. After all, they are the experts, not some forum wannabes talking about things in retrospect.
