The economy as a death machine

 The economic death rte is from the stress of waiting in liner, we presume. We can model deaths from all sources. Positive definite? The greater the expansion, the more stress and more deaths?

We will find a bound, somewhere around 70,000 where we would rather skip it and be a little poorer. We can use this number, compared to covid deaths and ask, are the lock downs mostly voluntary? Take a look, my envelope calculator says we really do not want to go out in that soup.
