The lockdown is stupid for *most* places(This obviously implies exceptions), so yeah, he is not fucking anything.

Plus, he is not influencing people much, this is comming from them.Do you expect epople are happy about being unemployed, or are more afraid of this *weak* virus than starving or being homeless?

The economy does indeed need to be opened up slowly in some states especially those that really don't have much cases or deaths which there are a lot of.

However, the protests in Michigan are straight up idiotic. I realize they are one of the most badly affected states economically but they are also the biggest hot spot in the country after the New York metro, and yes the death toll is simply too high to justify reopening the economy there regardless of how many people are out of work.

People are idiotic for protesting that this lockdown are taking away their sustance and their jobs?That's the question you should be making.

Health and economy are intrensectly linked.You can't work if you are ill, but you can't have health if you are poor.That's what people can't realize, or rather are strting to realize.This virus is killing like 0,001% of the population, and mostly only the people with past complications at that.A full lockdown should have never been one of the options, like I said from the beginning.

Lockdown should have been extended only to the people that are actually in danger( have existing conditions), and life should move on.These protest will only go on, because when you have to make a choice of having no money to pay your bills, and stealing to have food on your table, it's quite obvious the choice people are going to make.
