It's not that simple Illahee.

Lives and livelyhoods. Neither of them are much good without the other. There has to be the appropriate level of balance to this. You can't over protect and keep things locked down too long or you run the risk of putting millions into poverty & homelessness, which can and does kill far more in a year than this virus. You can't under protect and go wild with reckless abandon or we'll all die sooner rather than later.

Balance, balance, balance....
