Not sure what you're talking about here. In Australia for example we are flattening the curve and the measures are working. And we simply passed laws to protect the interests of landlords and renters so there won't be some explosion in litigation.

And just letting hundreds of thousands of people die alone, on the streets or in the homes and with no proper burial or funeral is not something people will tolerate. It would be like dropping everyone in the middle of a war zone.
