Serious question, I don't have a political agenda by asking this: How will a virus that hurts <1% of people devastate economies, lockdowns or not?

Economic devastation from lockdowns is clear. Economic devastation from a virus that primarily hurts the elderly is not clear to me.

Again, I'm not making any points about the value determination of lives saved vs GDP saved, only asking how you quantify the economic impact of a virus.
