I think the initial shutdown was wise to keep from overwhelming hospitals etc...but frankly we are past that and are doing more damage than good at this point IMO. Its just politics now.
Considering the median age of death from Covid in the US is still around 78, its a valid argument. If this thing were effecting the same age group as H1N1 it would be a different story.
The countries that locked down early and did "great" are seeing another spike because Covid doesn't just go away no matter what you do.
The states seeing spikes now are places that didn't have them earlier.
Some of this stuff is hindsight but frankly a lot of people arguing early on and arguing now that shutting down schools and locking people in houses isn't the right solution have a valid argument.
