If you think the economy isn't important in determining when the restrictions are relaxed, I don't think the majority would agree with you.
Of course we will avoid deaths. Antibody tests, vaccines and a range of control measures, ensuring medical need doesn’t exceed supply.

The economy is important but can be underwritten by Government and the Central Bank. It’s literally their main function at this time. Money, as you consider it like a household budget, simply doesn’t exist at a macroeconomic level in the same way.
