It is clearly not, otherwise that 4.8% would be a much bigger number. Hyperbole doesn't help here.
No one claims things are good. A global pandemic is a disaster any way you cut it. We're all affected, some much more than others, and we all have to help. But there's no magic wand we can wave where we all go back to work, either.
Even "essential" industries are affected. Very few people want to go to a crowded restaurant or theater right now, lockdown rules or no. Almost no one wants to travel on an airplane. That's just not coming back until we get the disease under control, and releasing lockdowns pushes that date farther into the future.
Remember the disease is disruptive all by itself. We have something like 25% of the nation's pork butchering capacity off line right now, not due to lockdowns (obviously they were "essential") but due to actual outbreaks. And that's what we should expect everywhere we permit commerce: random, uncontained, very disruptive outbreaks.
There's no magic. This sucks. But we have to work together to fix it, and harping about only one side of the problem hurts and doesn't help.
