I agree to an extent. From a utilitarian standpoint, the economic damage caused by the virus is not outweighed by a mortality rate of 0.2%. That being said, coronavirus has the potential to become worse (more infections -> more mutation -> potential to mutate more aggressively or more resistant to our research) so minimizing infections is probably a good idea. Not to mention, people tend to get angry when you start assigning objective tangible value to human life.
