Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin in a USA Today op-ed article published Sunday called for reopening parts of the American economy to avoid throwing it into a recession or depression, saying that "death is an unavoidable part of life."
Though Johnson didn't advocate fully starting up the economy, he said the crisis should be put into perspective.
"What more people are saying is that as we learn more about COVID-19, we should evaluate the total societal cost of this awful disease and try to put things into perspective," Johnson said.
The Wisconsin senator drew a parallel between the tens of thousands of Americans who die by suicide and from drug overdoses each year, adding that "that level of individual despair has occurred in a strong economy."
Johnson, who sits on the Commerce and Homeland Security committees, also made a comparison to last year's "exceptionally bad" flu season and said Americans shouldn't overreact.
"Every premature death is a tragedy, but death is an unavoidable part of life," he said.
