Because what to do is highly variable doesn’t mean we need to take unnecessary risk to know literal truth.

Urban area population density requires different mitigations than rural, except rural communities rely on urban ones as logistics pipelines.

So normalize; mask up, stay home. Prefer all gas, no brakes, based on stats? There may not be enough real people to keep the internet on later.

Nothing about the lockdown was for saving you or me specifically, but systems of behavior we rely on.

That isn't a valid reason. The infection fatality rate for most people who keep the Internet running is way less than 1%.
