I would say that is probably the most important way to look at the recovery decisions.

From the article:

Scott, who has been farming in Florida his whole life, explains that the spring is the best time for local farmers because the Sunshine State gets the opportunity to beat everyone else to the market with little competition. For this year’s spring harvest, he was looking at bringing in a haul of 10 million pounds of cucumbers.

Then coronavirus pandemic changed everything.

“Well, at this point, we have a 50 percent loss of our major spring crop,” Scott said. “If they’re gonna keep things shut down for another two or three weeks to the first or middle of May, that’ll probably take the rest of it.”

 

This same story is being told about thousands of different types of businesses...the coronaviris didn't hurt this business at all, but the extended shutdown did.

Based on studies at Stanford & USC, certainly not bastions of conservatism, the infected rate is much higher than we realize, thus the death percentage is much lower.   The numbers for Santa Clara County,  show 1,870 infected.  The Stanford Study, after testing, estimates anywhere from 48,000 to 81,000 have been infected.

Thousands of people in NY were tested positive  for having HAD the virus. They didn’t even know it. Death rates will drop as you said.
