From a pure economic standpoint, have the lockdowns cause more harm than good?

What an absolutely retarded question
If we stayed completely open, only boomers & fags with aids would have died
Now a ton of hard working people are going to die due to being homeless. Many more will commit suicide after losing EVERYTHING
Just so boomers can what, live 2 more years on social security?

the lockdown were used to accelerate what was going to happen in sptember/october
if the economy goes down you can't take care of population's health. if population healh goes down you cannot take care of the ecoomy.
it is a lose lose scenario. escpecially when politicians are using it to pass all kinds of bills while everything is going to shit

It's all conjecture, nobody has clear numbers on how many people would die with or without a quarantine, and nobody has numbers on how many are going to suffer because of it.
If you look in any suburb right now, there is no suffering. This is a very relaxed shutdown and anybody that would suffer economic kickback from this was a fucking retard that didn't have anything saved up, aka most poor people in America. Then again, most poor people in America are fucking fat dumbfucks anyway. Nothing against poor people but they are getting their free moneys anyway so they won't be homeless immediately.
Whole situation is just stupidity all around.

Wait you're telling me that it is my fault for going into more debt I can afford and not setting up an emergency fund like a fucking adult???
