Honestly, what do you do in the situation? If you do nothing and people die, you'll have people mad. You lock down, and they're mad about that too. I think initially, lockdowns were necessary since we didn't know much about the virus or how best to treat it. But once we knew more, I think the better thing to do would be to restrict susceptible people's movement and let the rest decide for themselves. The government could've facilitated the creation of jobs for people delivering groceries and supplies to the vulnerable but as far as I know, nothing like that happened, in the US anyway, which was super dumb since it would've helped with the massive unemployment AND helped the people who should be staying home.
I see a ton of old people who don't stay home, don't wear masks and don't stay the fuck back so it kinda makes you think, if they don't even give a shit then whats this all for at THIS point? Just open back up with reasonable safety precautions.
Like half of the people I know have already had covid and said it wasnt that bad. Everyone around here wore them at first but at this point people think its overblown since so many people get it and say its about like a cold.
Coronavirus lockdowns are not worth it
