Lockdown is expen$ive! What does it buy? (1) Flatten curve at pandemic peak, (2) Delay peak hoping for vaccine (3) Delay peak for time to expand docs, beds, ventilators, tests, apps, etc. Only (1) seems cost-effective to me, but if so, deliberate exposure would also help now.

I think -- and I believe you also think -- that a lot of the activity people are currently "locked down" and prevented from doing is neither productive nor pleasurable. "Bullshit jobs" and the like.

Bullshit lockdown activities seem to me just as likely as outside lockdown. I don't see how lockdown itself cuts bullshit.

Bad feeling means you doubt the claim, or worried about the consequences?

I'm worried (maybe wrongly) that there are real but not money-denominated benefits to lockdown that aren't showing up in your assessment that "lockdown is costly."
