One telltale sign of someone suffering a psychological disorder related to the current President of the USA is that they lose 100% of the otherwise normal human capacity to embrace nuance.
Can you do nuance? Is nuance a thing for you?
Just because I say we should end the lock down does not mean you should go licking door handles. Wuflu is still potentially dangerous. However, we can take precautions, like hand washing. While the precaution is not foolproof, the alternative, an extended lock down, will kill a lot of people - depression caused by bankruptcy, suicide, undiagnosed cancers etc. Why should we kill random people to save the ill?
And it is not like I don't have "skin in the game" so to speak. I have close family members that I very much want to live who will almost certainly die if they get this virus. We still need to reopen our economies though.
If you want to cower in fear you are free to do so.
Let those who can work, work. Let those who can't because of underlying health issues etc., stay home (and the government should assist them). Don't punish everyone because the virus is dangerous to the ill. And as far as people dying - again, as I said before, we were not immortal until sometime in February 2020. People die all the time. What we can do is mitigate, rather than decimate the economy and destroy the lives of the overwhelming majority of ordinary people.
Whether you like it or not, the predictive model employed was hopelessly wrong. With new data we can remodel, and find another pathway out of this Chinese disease.
So how many years have those on the left been screaming "my body my choice"..you can't get the hip replaced that is keeping a person unable to walk or that blown disc in their back that keeps them from any sort of normal function...BUT in all the left ran states the abortion clinics are still open?...sorry that couple were to stupid to use one of the 57 types of birth control...
Yet the rest of us peons are not smart enough to do things to keep us and our neighbors safe from a virus??...Here in Michigan the winter wheat is rotting in the fields because the witch..(not the word I wanted to use)..will not let the farmers work their fields...only 6 out of the 82 counties have not had more then 50 to 100 cases of the virus those of us that live in the corn fields are and have been mostly virus free yet we are not allowed to do what they have always done and they do alone..
