If the hospital were full, as they are expected to be due to the steep curve of infected, there is a real chance you could have died. Are you saying that is fine? Should we not try to flatten the curve as much as reasonably possible?
Apart from that, it's not like there is no economic help. In Germany, for instance, there is a rather easy process for the employed as well as businesses to get state funding. So it is not like most businesses will go under or people lose their houses.
If my evidence is that I had it, any attempt to flatten the curve should have happened in January. Effects happening now are just as likely from when we weren't doing anything.
