Lives are only lost in a lockdown scenario because of god awful policy. Pay people to stay home. Feed the poor.

  That only works when we have food to feed everyone ... which requires a surprising amount of people to stay at work. Besides the obvious people working in the fields/farms, there's a lot of support businesses that need to stay open. The people who repairs the tractors, the people who make parts for the feeders in the barns, etc, which need support for their own manufacturing equipment. We can't just "shut it all down" worldwide and not run out of food.

    No one is saying to shut down essential workers. Just to push pause on the silly luxuries we've come to expect.

  How do you think food gets made and distributed?

    See way it is now, by essential workers wearing masks. Not by packing halls with protesters holding coughing parties.
