Prove.

Countries with stricter lockdowns have fewer deaths than countries with more lenient ones. Oh hey that means that choice had life and death consequences! That was hard.

Without making light of the situation the fact remains that most people aren't going to get that bad.

Most aren't, no. That doesn't mean a whole lot of people aren't going to die if restrictions are lifted this soon. Hundreds of thousands of people may not be a majority, but dismissing it because it's a minority doesn't change that it's still hundreds of thousands of people.

The thing people fail to realize is restrictions can be lifted without forcing you to do anything. If a person still has or feels a need to stay away from others there's nothing wrong with that. The title here is grossly misleading.

And how do you propose making sure that everyone has the information they need to know who to stay away from? This thing can be transmitted asymptomatically for two weeks. You can't avoid that without avoiding everyone. There's also no shortage of young and/or healthy people (as much as I'm sure you'd like to presume they all had undiagnosed underlying conditions, you have no concrete reason to believe that and therefore shouldn't be making that assumption) being killed by it, so nobody can say that they're safe enough to not need to avoid it.

And then there's the point that people who refuse to return to work after their work reopens stand a good chance of being fired for it, so you really can't say that the decision is completely voluntary.
