Why are we really in lockdown?

This article looks like it&#x27;s part of the genre of &quot;act like an authority on fact while giving a slanted view of reality that confirms my own opinions&quot; literature that seems more and more popular nowadays.<p>Just because you think you&#x27;re including a &quot;liberal point of view&quot; (the author leans right) doesn&#x27;t mean both sides are really covered. Especially when you call that point of view &quot;a scaremongering campaign from a biased “liberal” media&quot; as the author does. Or... sorry, he says that &quot;others&quot; are calling it that. Which I guess means he can wash his hands of that politically charged statement.<p>I have to wonder if authors like this are actually trying to deceive their audience or if they genuinely believe that &quot;the other side&quot; follows the arguments they lay out. It feels like the author&#x27;s version of democrats is what my crazy uncle would say they are and his only interaction with liberal ideas are from people making fun of them on his facebook feed.<p>Edit: I don&#x27;t want this comment to come off as too angry, but I&#x27;ve been seeing more and more of this brand of &quot;intellectualism&quot; and it&#x27;s been making me frustrated. I just wish that people would fairly represent their opponent and not pretend that their version of what&#x27;s going on is unbiased.

Their core argument seems to be that we should place less value on those dying from Coronavirus, because most of them &quot;would soon have died anyway&quot; - and more value on the percieved economic risk of the lockdowns, because this somehow represents &quot;the people we can see dying in front of us&quot;.<p>Hence easing the lockdown, focusing on the economy and just letting the virus take its course whould naturally be the more &quot;humane&quot; solution...<p>Seems like a classic right-wing trolley-problem exercise which is really a thinly-veiled excuse to lobby for social darwinism.
