yes, I don't understand it, but there seems to be a large group who want the lockdowns to remain no matter what. A commenter in a thread last week even went so far as to say the lockdowns were, overall, good for society. I have no explanation except maybe the national election. I hope that's not it because the wholesale destruction of livelihoods just to stick it to the other side is a very depressing thought.

There are a variety of reasons IMO:
-- Many of those making these comments are probably WFH with some level of normalcy so they don't really see how and why a lot of people are anxious to open things back up.
-- In the same general vein, they see a push to reopen as part of an agenda that puts "the economy" over people for the benefit of Big Business/The Rich.
-- They think there must be a near-term technological/policy fix if only the bad politicians would stop messing things up.
