That's a nutty take, since (a) it's been those at the low-end of the income scale hit the hardest, and (b) it's dishonest to claim lockdowns are purely a matter of politics, because we know they slow the spread of the virus. Bars are open around the country. I don't think the few remaining lockdowns are our biggest problem.

Instead it has been clearly following the 5 stage model of pure emotional reaction: denial, anger (strict lockdowns when they started), negotiation (rules for staged opening, masks, etc.), depression (entering right now, and we'll get fully into it with the second wave), and several months down the road we'll get to acceptance.
