I'll only address #2 and #3 (and I think you should relax...this is just a conversation)
#2: yes, more people under the age of 20 and likely a much higher age, but I havent gone into those numbers as I was focusing on kids, die from the flu so far. Why no masks then? I bet if you remove comorbities it is even more stark.
#3 I am not using whataboutisms. It seems you think that a lockdown only has positives but that is simply not true. You are likely a well off upper middle class or better. Be thankful for what you have. Many do not have such luxuries.
Covis is an issue. I think the response is wrong. It should be more nuanced. Older and more at risk: stay at home, etc. I have no real problem with wearing a mask, in fact, I think it is reasonable during every flu season. What about the small business owner who is not making any money? Whelp, first expense to go is health care insurance. Now he gets some disease...Do you see how these issues are complicated?
