You're far more optimistic than I about the economic impact of 400-700k deaths ….. that isn't based on fake news, its based on maths derived from the stats we have so far.
Given around 57 million people die each year (2015 stats), the 400-700k is only 0.7-1.2% extra mortality rate. That is, of course, if one believes the hype and over exaggeration reported by MSM of the mortality rate. Recovery rates dont seem to matter.
