>>>One person dying is objectively worse than one person going bankrupt, this is ethics 101.

The argument of the anti-lockdown crowd (at least as I understand it) is that the second- and third-order effects are just rich people going bankrupt, but middle- and lower-class people being forced into dire economic straights up to and including starvation, or a drastically reduced ability to afford esssential life-saving healthcare for other non-COVID conditions.

Isn't that more of a symptom of a broken healthcare system?
