> Destroying the economy today to mitigate the worse case scenarios is risk that even right now no sane person earnestly wants to take.

I consider myself sane, and I would take that option.

Then again, I also resent that the banks were bailed out during the gfc, for fear of "destroying the economy".

What does destroying the economy mean? The factories would still stand. The knowledge, science still exist.
