There is a self preservation aspect to this scenario. At exactly what point could you determine that you are safe as long as you let this criminal continue about their business.

Or Mrs Maisel made the whole thing up so that people would send her tiny little digital approval messages that increase her dopamine flow.

He lives in an $8M mansion and he's worth about $360M. There's no way he regularly takes the subway.

328M people who live an average of 78.5 years would mean that 4.18M of them would die each year if the population remained constant.
.
660M ÷ 75 years r 8.8M (which is where i got my 9M figure from.
.
4.18M vs 2.8M seems like too much of a discrepancy to be explained by an ever growing population but I haven't given much thought to why.

My mistake. For some reason I had it in my head that the US population was 660M and the average life span was 75 years.

That's a lot of commas...Your question isn't clear to me but I'll do my best to answer: My point isn't about measuring the value of a commodity (corn, clothes, oil etc) compared to human lives. It's about measuring the quality of human life in both scenarios.
.
Pure numbers discussion: If the US did nothing, the largest credible estimation of death was 2.2M people in a country that has about 9M deaths per year on average. Some of that 2.2M were very likely to die in 2020 without covid. And of the 9M who are going to die in 2021, a large amount of them would have died early in 2020 due to covid so 2021 deaths would have actually been something less than 9M.
.
Now, imagine the quality of life if we have 45% unemployment. A pure depression in every sense of the word. Starving families, communities resorting to theft, suicides rise through the roof.
.
The question we're faced with is what is the best balance of those two extremes. Claiming that we should crash out way of life to

Neither of those two are taking into account: number of drive wheels, tire compound, tire size, tire air pressure, road surface conditions, road grade, altitude, battery charge level, driving skill, temperature (of anything) or any number of variables that are each capable of drastically changing the tug-of-war outcome.

Whomever made this meme clearly lacks the foresight to grasp what the world might look like after shutting the economy down for 5 months.

Even highly trained professionals get excited when they are about go shoot a human. The chances of a home defender keeping their composure enough to pull off a well placed knee shot in a surprise scenario like that is almost zero.
