Not necessarily legit. Just human rather than bots. They have at least one reason to reopen the country but have nothing to say about any reason to not reopen the country. They only see economics. Their economics. They don't see the risk to their lives. Or give it little weight because they are willing to risk it.

And no reference to those who are ready to believe conspiracy theory bots because they take a position that seems right to them.

My Aunt found one doctor a month or so ago who said there was no reason to shut down the economy. Despite the many with more relevant experience and knowledge in the field of epidemiology who say otherwise, she latched onto that one. Why? Because it was the answer she wanted to hear.

I am not saying that it is entirely impossible that having no lockdown would have had no impact on things. But history shows otherwise. And there is no evidence that it will be as the "economy first" crowd wants. Just wishful thinking. I would rather learn from history than just buck it and take my chances.
