The damage caused by lockdown is more than covid.
If I told you that every day you lived your normal life, you had a 1 in 100 chance of dying, would you take it?
How about a 1 in 1,000 chance? That's an expected payoff of about three years before you die, Worth it?
The breakeven point is different for different people, but I think even 0.1% chance of death is too high for most.
Or flipping the numbers: if 100% of Americans become infected, a disease with a 0.1% fatality rate is about 350,000. That's more people than we lost in World War II.
Of course, in fact that I'm doing right now, i try to lived my normal life as much as i still possibly can.

There are always some chance of death everyday regardless of covid.
Do you think lockdown doesn't case long term damage ? The lockdown and the fear mongering cause more damage than the covid itself.

Sure but we have more people now compare to before.
That is utterly, utterly wrong. Even in those with only moderate symptoms, damage across the body results from catching the 'rona: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/07/brain-fog-heart-dama...
And it's across the body that the 'rona does long lasting damage, this is pretty rare in any form of sickness. And it's going to bite economies in the butt for many, many decades to come. The only way to prevent this is to prevent people from getting infected.
