What death rate are you willing to accept to return to normal life (no masking, no social distancing measure, no track and trace, etc.)? This is a conversation a mature populace should be able to have, and should be having. I think you really have to look at the potential damage prolonged economic shutdown will have. Unintended consequence after unintended consequence is stacking up over this. My best guess is 20-30/100k is where we can accept zero change. After that you have to start incrementally imposing things.
Your death or someone else's?
There's a chance you can die. That's what X/100K means. Same with accidents, the flu and murders.

When weighing an opportunity to have a bit more fun vs the lives of the vulnerable, I'm generally going to choose to protect lives. Sorry if that's not the answer you were looking for.

The poster is entitled to their position. I just want to make sure they're clear and then to understand their reasoning. Sometimes people can say something like "Not one death is tolerable" and then when prodded, indicate that they meant that more in as an idealistic goal, not a practical standard.
Does this apply to other causes of death? Should we drastically change our lifestyles to prevent them?
