Well, that is a dumb as shit thought process. That goes against the entire history of the US Public Health process. But, live and let die baby!
Not really, considering lockdowns and restrictions have failed to stop the virus and failed to protect our most vulnerable. I am all ears for another solution, but I think most people are severely kidding themselves to believe we are going to curb this thing without a vaccine or herd immunity.
Europe is a great case on this right now. France, Italy, and Spain all had severe 2 month lockdowns followed by another month of lockdown "lite." By lite I mean what the US has been doing. What did that earn them? France is now around 30-50k cases a day. Italy is averaging at 21K cases a day, and Spain is near that same level. France has officially locked down for a month and Italy/Spain are about 2 weeks behind France. What is a lockdown for a month going to do to stop the virus from getting around at this point? At 30-50K cases a day, its over. This shit is spreading. That's the point boogie is making, and he is not wrong. The people who call for lockdowns or more restrictions are only doing it so they can "feel" safe. This shit is a dog and pony show at the expense of the economy and ruining a lot of lives.
