There's several arguments to be made in favor of fewer restrictions. This article makes the worst ones...
- The projections were wrong
- The fatality rate is lower than feared
- Other diseases kill people too
- This isn't as bad as the Spanish Flu
- Lockdowns can harm people too
The only good argument I've heard against lockdowns is that we have mounting evidence that less onerous restrictions are sufficient to keep the transmission rate low. This article doesn't touch on that at all.
