The science will unemotionally look at the statistics. i.e. number of cases vs number of deaths and what percentage that involves. Yes it's heartless but science cannot let that enter into the equasion.
Consider this, if testing is ramped up and reveals that of the number deaths is say 0.1% of confirmed cases is this acceptable?
The answer becomes a societable problem. Once the media get hold of the figures...

It'll be far higher than that - 0.1% of the population is 66,000 and excess deaths is already at 40,000. It's not credible that 40 million people have already been infected with the virus given at any one time something like 80% of testing done has been negative.
