Birthe Absolutely right. The approach in "lockdown" now is to inhibit spread of virus so health services can catch up and give a bit of extra time to develop a vaccine.
But other issues are emerging as a consequence of "lockdown" that are unintended consequences of it ... --"moral panic" (*pace* Sontag); --"material segregation" that damages society; --"severe economic damage." I agree to the principle of "slowing". Yet that needs assessment in context of these other damages. The broader political issue is becoming "to what extent do you cripple normal life to save some people's lives?" There is a lack of factual analysis to get the death rates contextualised well in mortality rates generally. Its too early to be sure, but "lockdown" may not be the right approach. Lockdown has the bad consequence of creating social tension. There are just ill-informed thoughts.
