I am not saying we should not "take coronavirus seriously" as you say. I do. But after taking it seriously I still see the current lockdowns in the US as counterproductive. Even if we could get this genie back into the bottle 3 months ago (which is not a given), you cannot now. Many states are open and people travel. Instead of forcing wide lockdowns we should focus on supporting those at high risk or worried and let others back to leading normal lives.
My 2c, no offense intended.
