>27 thousand excess deaths occurred already in Florida
Are the excess death is solely caused by covid ?
>Unemployment is being caused largely by the economic slowdown, and by significantly reduced footfall, driven by inability to control a pandemic.
I'm not saying I agree with all Florida government policies. The unemployment issue exist even without pandemic, but here I'm specifically taking about the unemployment that is caused by lockdown.
if you don't allow business to open, then some extra unemployment bound to happen. Assuming the lockdown do work, Is it worth it for a virus that have less than 1% death rate ? for me its very very not worth it. Furthermore unemployment is just one of the many of problem caused by lockdown.
> Are the excess death is solely caused by covid ?
Not all of them, I'm sure plenty of people in Florida committed suicide out of despair, drank themselves to death and so on as a result of the pandemic virus as well. It would be easy to become hopeless somewhere with tens of thousands of needless deaths while idiots cheer it on from a safe distance.

If all your businesses are "open" but potential customers sensibly choose to reduce their exposure by staying away, unemploymentment sky-rockets anyway, as it has in Florida. Then you'd need substantial government action to prevent the worst effects of that, and of course that was never likely under Trump whereas Ardern's government in New Zealand immediately began programmes to try to prevent employers going bankrupt during Level 3 and to protect individuals from the economic impact, as well as pursuing elimination strategy for the virus itself.
As a result New Zealand was able to largely re-open and is already well into its economic recovery - aside from international tourism. They're having a pretty good summer.
Your problem is that you started with a belief you wanted to justify and then you've embarrassed yourself by pretending you've proceeded rationally when actually you were just making excuses. Just admit to people how it is, you're a selfish asshole who doesn't want to obey restrictions that keep other people safe. Just say it, if it makes you feel bad that is, after all, your problem.
