You have no point.

Entire nations are on forced quarantine. That is slowing the spread (and deaths) of COVID-19 significantly. Without the quarantine, hospitals will be filled, leaving many who would otherwise live (with treatment) to die.

There are hundreds of thousands of at-risk individuals where COVID-19 is a deadly threat. No amount of "chilling out" or "exercise" will make that not true. To this, quarantine _is_ the precaution you speak about.

US states that have started to re-open are seeing surges in infection rates. Browse Google News to learn more.

Please do the bare minimum to be educated before throwing about your childish ramblings that can lead to deaths.

With a few exceptions, hospitals in the USA were never filled and their ICUs were never filled. We built extra facilities that are now being dismantled:

Meanwhile patients who should have gone to the hospital for conditions other than Covid-19 are sitting at home dying instead. The hospitals are mostly empty and are losing money b/c of Covid-19 panic.

Quarantine is primarily for the susceptible or the sick. To extend quarantine to everyone has proven too costly IMO.

Re-opening states are seing increases, NOT surges.

if the lockdowns were needed to stop the spread, then we would have seen the states that opened up 2-3 weeks ago having a dramatic increase in hospitalizations right now.

but that has not happened

also when the lockdowns started we were not sure about the details of the disease, now we have a relatively better understanding
