Just think of the "human cost."
If I'm concerned about lives;
if none other than mine or my families, I would hope these people DIDN'T get the virus, but died in some other calamity as a result of their rush to rejoin the grand cult of Capitalism. That way they would be killed as a result of their zeal to "go outside" and I wouldn't have to worry about additional spread potentially impacting myself or my loved ones.
Of course someone getting run over by a car trying to get to the gym won't be counted as a COVID-19 death and they gotta have those numbers so they can be right on the internet.
