This is demonstrably false. Some places are already back to life as normal, like Florida and Sweden, with no business closures. And in spite of this they still have lower deaths per capita than some places with heavy lockdowns like New York, Peru, Belgium and Spain.

Come on. Florida is not "back to normal". The health department is still advocating the full suite of social interventions for citizens, including masks & social distancing.

Sweden is not back to normal. Mass gatherings are still banned and people are self isolating en masse.
