The lock-downs were counterproductive & now we need an abrupt opening of the economy to build herd immunity. Sweden handled COVID-19 the best.

And if someone is high-risk they need to take care of themselves to safeguard against that, just like with previous flu seasons.
We should have let evolution run it's course and weed off some weak people anyway - if they wanted to survive they should have been responsible. Sad reality, but that's just the nature of the beast. I am not insensitive towards older people either as this is all coming from someone who found his own 85-year-old grandmother dead from a heart attack on the floor (I came to her house to do my regular daily/bi-daily visit).
Most of our leaders responses to COVID-19 have the fallacy of good intentions while not thinking of the results that lie ahead. Good intentions might be "we need to keep people safe" but the reality is confining everyone to their homes or shutting down places left & right has many unintended consequences like people loosing their businesses, unimaginably high unemployment, likely increase in suicides, people not having their immune system exercised/exposed, and to people like me working/school from home (online college w/ a full coarse load was a bitch, WAY too distracting at home and other reasons)
Sorry there was a 2-day delay, I was in the middle of writing this and I left the tab where I typed this open.
