That's a terribly thought out response. Because if we had a crystal ball, this would be pretty easy to determine a response.
But since we don't have a crystal ball, we won't know if one of your employees will die even with these measures, so we take extreme measures to provide the best outcome for all citizens. This includes shutdowns so that hospitals do not become overwhelmed, especially when we are seeing that many who recover do in fact need a ventilator for a time to make a full recovery. If ICUs are out of beds, people don't get that chance at recovery.
And this isn't just about deaths. Many who are recovering are showing permanent cardiac and pulmonary damage. This isn't some cold or flu that you recover from and are guaranteed no lasting effects.
