A lockdown is not a good strategy to contain the pandemic. Sooner or later, all of us have to get exposed to the virus. Look at the data. The virus has been especially bad for older people and for those who were already sick. We need to isolate those vulnerable people, and NOT to put the whole country in a quarantine.
Protect the most vulnerable through isolation, and give rest of the society a gradual exposure to the virus. Here is what we needed to do in the first place. Keep it open for everybody between 20 and 30. People below 20 and above 30 are asked to shelter in place. Watch the results and two weeks later, open it up for people between 20 and 40. Third stage: open it up for all between 20 and 50. Next step: all between 20 and 60, and so on.
Asking ALL the people to shelter in place is not only bad for the economy, it is paving way for a plethora of mental health issues. Stop this nonsense of complete lockdowns.
