Short term, our healthcare system being overwhelmed is a greater concern.
Long term, economic repercussion from imposed restrictions may be the greatest concern.
We had had and survived pandemics in the past without drastic measures.

I doubt there is any number of deaths, any number of healthcare providers killed by the virus, any number of critically ill patients overwhelming the medical centers of America that could convince you that this is anything more than the common cold. Unless it’s the exponential growth in all of the above that will happen in the US in the next two weeks. I’m baffled by your blindness to the scale of human suffering and the seriousness of the slow motion disaster occurring on our planet.
