If 3.4% of Americans die from the coronavirus...is that worth shutting down the economy?

Societies make decisions
Societies make decisions every day that balance public safety, economics, and personal freedom, with such things as the regulation of cigarettes, alcohol, speed limits, mandatory air bags, etc. As I understand it, all these closures and restrictions are designed to 'flatten the curve' and spread out new infections over time to avoid overloading the health care system all at once. If it is otherwise inevitable that most people will at some point over the next year come down with this thing, wouldn't the balancing question need to examine the excess mortality associated with an overburdened health care system vs. the mortality rate with a less burdened health care system?

He's also not taking into account people who need hospitals because of accidents or other illness.

I believe what Weird Steve is saying is that 3% of US population is over 10 million people, not 10's of thousands.

Bingo. Italy is basically losing far more lives because they have no room in the hospitals. To me this is a timing issue. Take a pause, get the tests backed up, get an assessment of what's really going on, get the partial treatments ready, and then make an educated decision about how to proceed. He's basically saying it's ok for 11 million Americans to die. Awesome.

I read that as.....I hope he gets a dick.

says the person on a message board populated almost exclusively by old white guys, that is dedicated to an old white guy, with most off topic discussion being about other old white guys and how much we love their music and/or miss them

Hahaaa sure for now. You'll be whistling a different tune when you wake up one day and you are one youngbloods.
I've been up and down, survived well thru both dem + repub admins, and live quite happy. Presidents and elections don't guide my life or determine my happiness, I've made it all work no matter who is in charge, as you will when you're through bitching bbros. It's all in how well you play the cards you're delt.
Play your cards right

Here's another POS:
Here's another POS...be interesting to investigate trading by Burr's associates.
https://www.propublica.org/article/senator-dumped-up-to-1-6-million-of-stock-after-reassuring-public-about-coronavirus-preparedness
Soon after he offered public assurances that the government was ready to battle the coronavirus, the powerful chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Richard Burr, sold off a significant percentage of his stocks, unloading between $582,029 and $1.56 million of his holdings on Feb. 13 in 29 separate transactions.
As the head of the intelligence committee, Burr, a North Carolina Republican, has access to the government’s most highly classified information about threats to America’s security. His committee was receiving daily coronavirus briefings around this time, according to a Reuters story.
A week after Burr’s sales, the stock market began a sharp decline and has lost about 30% since.
On Thursday, Burr came under fire after NPR obtained a secret recording from Feb. 27, in which the lawmaker gave a VIP group at an exclusive social club a much more dire preview of the economic impact of the coronavirus than what he had told the public.
