You ask a scientist they only have one thing to consider, how to bring case numbers down, they don’t care about the economy and not a single one of them has missed a single pay cheque since this started either.
Scientists are not supposed to care about the economy, they are present to advise the government who are then expected to take the best course of action, which often involves finding an admittedly difficult balance between factors. I know that the lockdown has not been kind to you in terms of work compared to others, but the implication that scientists are somehow deliberately coining it from the pandemic, rather than just doing their job in an extremely complex situation for which they are paid accordingly, is deliriously cynical.
