The argument "we should reopen and let the weak die because people are losing their income from the lockdown and that will cause more deaths" amazes me.
In normal countries, you don't die from temporary (or even permanent) loss of income. You get checks from your government.

If you think "people dying from lack of economic growth" is the real problem, you don't have to sacrifice the elderly as a solution, you could simply start supporting pro-worker politicians and policies.
What you're really saying with this argument is "the society we've built for ourselves is more ruthless and deadly than a pandemic"
