Yes it is, without proper economic support. It's go back to work or risk poverty. It's not a fair choice if people can't safely stay home without going broke.
> The problem with the lockdown is it forces the same solution on to every individual. Individuals have different needs, risk factors, priorities, and appetite for risk. People should be able to these make decisions for themselves.
That's framing this as an individual choice when it's a societal issue. If people can do whatever they want, it's just the tragedy of the commons. People will do what's good for them instead of what's good for public health. In this kind of scenario, individualism often just translates to selfishness.
