This is a bad-faith argument. I'll engage with it anyway.
The problem is the pandemic, not the lockdown. Let's assume we completely open up society. Will that make people more free? Will that help the economy? Will it make people more happy? No, no, and no.
Let's start with freedom. I agree, a lockdown is a restriction on freedom. But the alternative isn't any better. Personally, I wouldn't feel more free knowing that anything I do puts me at risk of death. The issue is the pandemic.
Will it help the economy? Maybe. People are going to be hesitant to go about their daily lives as long as the pandemic exists. So the problem here, again, is the pandemic.
I agree that people are depressed right now. Is it because they are at home all day? Possibly. There's also the anxiety of thousands of people dying a day, and the very real chance that your friends or family could die. I would imagine that this would also reduce happiness. So again, the pandemic is the problem.
We have to ******* end this virus. I don't care how.
And by the way, even if you want to end lockdowns, WEAR A ******* MASK, YOU ******* IDIOT.
