There will no doubt be a lot of economic damage that shakes out of the shutdown and concerns around public exposure to the virus, but the direct damage to physical infrastructure and demographics in Canada is nil. We have people who are choosing to stay home, not a decimated working age population or bombed factories.
And to be frank now that we have a clearer idea of what the fatality rate is like, it's looking unlikely that it's worth a protracted shutdown, even if testing and tracing, treatments, or a vaccine all fail to keep the spread in check.
