Is it not generally the rich sharply criticising lockdowns? My impression has been mostly the capitalist class + workers who need to work to not starve are in favour of opening up as quickly as possible. Is my impression wrong?

In Switzerland, on one side we had unions who said "OK, no May Day parades this year", and on the other side we had bank CEOs who collected donations from their entire management team and took part in videos whose message was "all for one, and one for all".
