I have lost friends and loved ones to motor vehicle accidents. I am not fighting to ban automobiles and go back to horse and buggy.
We have to look at the big picture. Like Elon Musk said recently: People think the American Economy is one giant horn o plenty. If you have a lot of stuff it means you managed to grab a bigger share from the horn o plenty. But the truth is this: if we aren't making stuff, there is no stuff to grab. (paraphrase).
If the whole economic system fails (and it will if this is taken to the extreme) there will be nothing to eat, nothing to sell, etc. How many lives will be lost as a result.
I am so sorry for anyone losing a loved one. Loss of life happens. I am not saying we should be reckless and take no precautions. We need a balance. We need to get back to work.
