I am amazed that economists were surprised that dead people make lousy workers and worse customers.

Economists seem to be pretty smart on this:

For some reason people who love to evoke economic health as their rationale but aren’t economists, seem to struggle with the concept, though.

To be fair that’s not the only concept they struggle with

Also, IIRC perhaps the strongest theory is that it originated in Kansas, where the prevalence and density of hog farms, right under a key flight path for a variety of migratory birds, created optimal conditions for a cross-species jump, and then to the humans who were so directly involved in contact with the hogs (no jokes, fellas ). On top of this, a local army base, with constant transience of troops coming and going, spread the virus out quickly in a variety of directions.

It's more than theory. It's pretty much accepted as a fact now. Avian based flu tells corona viruses to hold my beer
