Evaluate the following claim: “The extreme social distancing
currently being advocated for in the United States will end up killing more people
than the Corona Virus would have in the absence of social distancing.” Feel free to
take either side of the claim (I personally don’t know whether it is true or not, but
it’s worth thinking about). Also, make sure you reference material from class in
your answer. Was there a model we discussed that relates health to income? What
would have to be true in that model to make the claim more or less valid? How
does your answer change if we assume that, ceteris paribus, COVID-19 has much
higher mortality rates for the elderly than for the young and middle-aged?
