Why is covid19 lockdown not being enforced again?

I must say that you all do have a point about lockdowns' affect on the economy. Yes, we don't want that. I've just been thinking that this illness will do more harm to people than the economy status as a result of lockdown. I've seen too many stories of people on ventilators and really suffering from this illness, and the deaths in the US are well into the 6 figure range now. I was just thinking that the economy wouldn't harm people as much as all that, but you're right, maybe it would.

Just to let you know, I've taken all the precautions myself, I don't go anywhere without my mask on, and I always stay as far away from other people as possible, I've been protecting myself as much as humanly possible. My point was about how many other people seem to not be, and continuing to see such dramatically rising numbers of people affected by COVID19. But I do say, I see your points also

You do have a point about the economy. Yes, we don't want a failing economy, that would do horrible damage. I just didn't think that lockdowns would damage us as much, after seeing the damage this illness is doing to such a vast amount of the population.

I've just seen so many stories now of people on ventilators and really suffering from this illness, and not all of them have been elderly. Several celebrities in their 50s have died from COVID19. I read a story of a family of 4 in my local paper, not far from me, where the parents were both in their early 40s and both almost died, the husband was on a ventilator for 2 weeks, struggled to breathe, and suffering horrific delerium. He said afterwards how going through that was a worse nightmare than when he had full blown pneumonia about 10 years earlier, and he was a firefighter and probably not in the worst shape.

I have health problems myself and a weakened immune system (the latter is something I think anyway since I've battled high blood pressure and I get winded walking up only 2 flights of stairs), so I'd probably get hit hard with COVID19 if I caught it, and I'm 45.

So these have basically been my reasons for my worries about getting the disease, and why I've had my reactions about seeing people not being careful. However, I really do see your concerns about the economy. I've been thinking that it wouldn't be hit as badly as it may actually be hit, and I can only correct myself now on having thought that. I agree with you on the economy concerns now.

Yep, Trump has openly admitted that the numbers are being suppressed and called for them to be artificially lowered even more. When that didn’t work, he took over the release of all information so he could have complete control of the numbers.

I do see the concerns about the economy, actually. I've just been thinking that this disease would end up causing just as much suffering. So many people are getting pretty deathly ill, are on ventilators, and dying from it. And I'm also someone who may get hit with it hard since I'm not that young or in the best health.

But I don't want our economy to fall out either. I didn't think that lockdowns would hurt it as much as you're all saying it might. But I'll admit now, you guys could be right. I've just thought that this disease could also end up doing unthinkable damage if people weren't careful. I just hope we get an affective vaccine. There would definitely be no more need for lockdowns once we get that. But I do see the economy concerns even we continued lockdowns for now.
