How many people usually die in a single day around the world? Much much more than that.
Hashem should be protect us and we should do some hishtadlus. At the same time, is it really worth destroying entire economies, shutting down Yeshiva’s and all sense or normal life. What will happen when we are still sitting with all of our kids around and no jobs and Money for anyone. It could come to rioting in the streets c”vs , a run on banks or worse c”vs. I am of the opinion to open everything up to normal.
I know it’s not popular what I am saying, but we are doing worse to our lives what this illness can ever do
