I meant if the strategy had been to prioritise the economy at the expense of greater immediate loss of life but a long term reduction in total fatalities. It would have needed countries to have agreed to keep production going and borders and markets open etc. Essentially to have acted like it was just a particularly dangerous and virulent version of the Flu.

We have wound down the economy as we work out how to feed and maintain some public health in a reality we didn’t plan for. Many experts had an input.
We didn’t do exactly what epidemiologists suggested.
