Can't revive the retail/food sector by fiat. Only way forward is to beat the virus. And the only way to do that is to start with a real lockdown.
An informal never-ending semi-lockdown period where 2-3k people die every day is guaranteed economic death, on top of the human toll.

There is no compromise to be made between "economic cost" & "human cost". You have to choose between a world where the virus is widespread enough that people are forced to self-isolate and 1000s end up dead, & a world where the virus is under control & people can go back outside
It's pretty clear which road the US is heading towards
