Ah yes, a member of the Zoom/Slack WFH class who is not impacted economically whatsoever by a 12-18 month lockdown.

Ah yes a member of the "Sacrifice your grandparents for the stonks" class. I'm sorry but the idea of discarding potentially millions of live for the economy is inhuman.

The economic impact began before the lockdown occurred. To imply that we can just reopen society by declaring the lockdown over is to be a bit naive about how people react to risk.

The pandemic and the government’s poor response caused the lockdowns, not white collar workers.
