I respectfully disagree. For a while I've been thinking that's more or less a classic false choice -- this argument that those in the "saving lives" camp are somehow refusing to care about the powerful value in our economy.

But I think you save the economy by beating the virus. People won't walk into a crowded and poorly ventilated restaurant until the virus is gone. Anything that prolongs the virus's presence in our country will drag down the economy. I feel like some of the "pro-economy" people aren't sufficiently recognizing that.
