I recall in a economics textbook in college where it was claimed 37,000 American's die from every 1% increase in unemployment. Now I don't recall how it was calculated or where the author got the statistics but it doesn't seem all that outrageous, even from suicide and crime alone. The book was written in 1981 likely with populations much less than now. If unemployment jumps from 4% to 34% think of the losses. 1.15 million people using the old figures.
As a nation we do and obviously will have to in the future take into considerations all impacts including economically when dealing with these outbreaks. Honestly this one wasn't as bad as we may eventually face. 20-30% of anyone and everyone could die in a really bad one. World is over as we know it if that occurs.
