What about just looking at the most vulnerable populations? My elderly grandma was certainly safer with her self-imposed lockdown, since by avoiding most people she avoided being infected. If that population benefitted from the lockdown, how is it possible that society as a whole did not benefit?
- tinus_hn 5y agoIf vulnerable people had been told to and had in fact decided to lockdown themselves voluntarily society would have had the same benefit. That is no reason to force the rest into some kind of behavior. And in fact they would have been better off because society would not have incurred the monumental monetary costs of lockdowns and would have saved a very large amount of money that is now not going to be spent on the elderly.
