Yup. The goal of the lock-in was for people would get sick latter to avoid overloading the hospitals. In places where hospitals are nowhere near capacity, which is almost everywhere, the lockdown was and is an unnecessary blow to the economy. For folks still drawing a paycheck (or retired) the "economy" is some abstract thing, somehow related to Wall Street. But for 30-plus million unemployed Americans the economy is food, heat for homes, electricity, and a home. Everyone in the media must be in the first category.
