There are strong, valid arguments to be made both for and against reopening and loosening the prohylactic measures currently in place.

No clear "right" or "wrong."
I agree with you. We can try to value human life over profit, but a total economic collapse will also lead to loss of human life as it will impact the essentials: the food supply, hospitals. Who knows, maybe even the water supply and the power grid. I think a partial answer lies in reevaluating priorities: what are the basic essentials that people absolutely need, and how can they be provided with those? What government projects need to be dropped in favor of the essentials?
