I've had the same opinion since the start of this thing (you can go through my post history if you want), and I've been astounded at how incredibly unpopular it is. If you try and point out what's happening with the data, people on Reddit and elsewhere will attack you.
It's weird how the same people who are touting the lockdown are also saying we need to "listen to scientists" etc, but they aren't doing that: those people simply ignore or deny the facts and data which don't agree with their doomsday hypothesis.
This whole situation is so emotionally charged that it overrides the good sense of good people.
EDIT: If anyone is a fan of Warren Buffett, you should take some time from your day to watch the Berkshire meeting from yesterday. I really appreciate how he puts everything in context with none of the politics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69rm13iUUgE
