First of all, the main, if not the only reason for lockdowns is extremely short-term need to curb the infection spread, to stop the hospitals from being overflown. It is still interesting that after a year of pandemic, lots of people do not realize this. Second, you are not a medical scientist, are you? 1% of people who got infected suffer from grave consequences. Even if only 1% survivors will have long-term problems with health, this is already burden of 2 000 000 sick people just in United States. Now, SARS-1 (which is closely related to SARS-2) is known to cause serious side effects. This thing is less severe, obviously than SARS-1, but no one really did any large scale follow-up. I get it you hate lockdowns, you want life "as normal", but at least you need be honest about, not trying to paint everyone as stupid coward simpletons, to justify your inner motivations.
