Not worth the risk/harm due to lockdown, at least for this virus. I'm still open to the idea that a lockdown would work but not for this virus. >For your own

  Had we gotten it over and done with your freedom would have been materially improved over the subsequent months would it not? You're unhappy with this awful compromise, as everyone should be -- caused by a refusal to adhere to either opening the economy and paying the cost, or to a proper lockdown. And you should be upset about it, I am, it's been an abject failure. We've compromised so much, but just not quite enough, in part because of the uneven distribution of compliance. That has led to huge cost for zero reward.

    >Had we gotten it over and done with your freedom would have been materially improved over the subsequent months would it not? No, because we don't even need the lockdown in the first place. I'm not saying nothing should be done to about this virus, but if the answer of 'doing something about it' is lockdown then I can't support because the harm is just immense (compared to the risk of this virus). Yes, I am upset at the government reaction to this virus.

      The hospital around the corner from me had two freezer trucks parked outside for months because there wasn't enough room inside for the dead bodies piling up. The harm from this virus is very real, even if you are lucky enough to have so far avoided the worst of it personally.

        I didn't say the harm from the virus is not real. I said the harm from lockdown is more than the harm from virus.

          It's not.
