If we didn't have government imposed social distancing, you really think the economy would have been any better? You really can't think that. You think people would have willingly had elective medical procedures, go to baseball games, hang out in crowded restaurants, go on vacations with strangers from all around the world, go to bars, with as many people dying as would have without social distancing?
Also we know this isn't an old persons disease. If we didn't have social distancing the percentage of non elderly dying would have obviously went up.
There's no one to blame for the state of the economy.
