And yes, there still are lots of people downplaying the severity of the virus. I have seen this both on forums and at work.
I doubt the administration would not be making the extreme measures they have been, without consideration from medical experts looking at many more facts than you, the media, and me have. I don't believe Trump wanted to destroy all the progress the economy has made over the last several years.
The virus tearing through the country unchecked would most likely have a much larger impact on the economy/recovery.

Tens of millions of people in the US get vaccinated for the flu. With all the vaccinations, the US death rate is about 0.1%. Then they compare it to the Coronavirus, BUT, the CVirus has no vaccine. So, what would the flu death rate be if NO ONE GOT VACCINATED EVERY FLU SEASON???
That is one problem with comparing the two. The other is that they aren't related at all. How many people die of lung cancer each year? Lung cancer is not related to the CVirus, and neither is the flu.
