At what point does fallout from trying to avoid covid-19 deaths cause more deaths than covid-19. We're talking domestic violence, starvation abroad (due to local hoarding, which has begun), and actual crop failure (due to a shortage of transient labor). There's also suicide, depression, etc.

I'm not even saying let up on all the social distancing measures. I think social distancing measures are good, but perhaps over the top. Nowhere have I seen a discussion of where to stop with the measures because of diminishing returns and increasingly negative economic (and indirect human life loss) impact.
