In light of the growing discontent with coronavirus lockdowns across the country, and the insistence by many that America has to get back to work and “back to normal,” I have a few questions I would like to ask of those who feel this way. They are meant for anyone who finds themselves in or leaning towards, the “open it back up” camp — not just those who have actively protested stay-at-home orders, but also those who are merely becoming increasingly frustrated by them.
Or, I should say they are meant for most people in that camp.
Honestly, I am only asking these questions of people whose opposition to lockdowns is rooted in genuine concern for the economic costs of continued quarantining, but who nonetheless acknowledge the seriousness of the COVID crisis.
I am not asking for input from people who think the entire thing is a hoax.
I am not interested in the meanderings of people who think Bill Gates and the “Deep State” are concocting the whole thing so they can force vaccinations on everyone and de-populate the planet.
I don’t care what QAnon lunatics think, nor do I care about the insights of people who carry rocket launchers to demonstrations just to show they can.
