I'm 53 and have asthma. I'm sorry my existence inconveniences you, but I believe the "isolate the at-risk and everyone else can pretend nothing is happening" is a direct attack on my liberty. "...the demands aren't stopping at handwashing, masks, and social distance as those don't appear to be working; instead indefinite lockdowns, blanket bans on household mixing and abolition of major sections of peoples lives and livelihoods are being demanded." Have you considered moving somewhere else? I don't know where you are, but hand-washing, mask, and social distance seem to be doing fine here, and there are no indefinite lockdowns or the other things you mention.

I have friends and family whose businesses and livelihoods have been destroyed by this, but no it's fine we should just let them all go to the wall, what's a few evictions here and suicides there eh? I mean fuck em right, you've got yours? If you have a look on a news site that covers areas outside the global hub that is alabama (reuters for example https://reuters.com/news/world https://reuters.com/news/world or any other major news organisation) you will find... 1. It is pointless moving elsewhere as the virus and the response is worldwide (that 7 months of this hasn't brought this to your attention is...of note.) 2. The measures are being viewed as insufficient and and we are facing curfews and all of the things that I mentioned ARE happening.
