OR...end the lockdowns and lifestyle restrictions so there are no "vulnerable jobs" to this virus that has a 0.13% IFR [1]. Human choices by governments are both creating the problem and providing solutions to the problem.

“The government is good at one thing. It knows how to break your legs, and then hand you a crutch and say, 'See if it weren't for the government, you wouldn't be able to walk.” ― Harry Browne

Remote workers you get to pay for the crutch.

[1] Oct 05 WHO announces 750m cases and on that day there were ~1m fatailities. 1m / 750m = 0.0013 = 0.13% IFR ( end of article here https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/coronavirus/nyc-ebola-doctor... )

You missed one major point. That IFR is with the restrictions in place. If they were lifted it would be higher.

IFR is simply the percentage of those infected who die. Lifting the restrictions might cause more deaths, but it wouldn't change the IFR.

The fatality rate is dependent on overall infection rate, because treatment capacity is finite and once it goes above capacity people who might have lived get parked on trolleys in the hospital corridors to die.
