lockdown waste of time and money

• Seventy coronavirus test sites have been destroyed during US protests against George Floyd's death, leaving White House officials fearing a spike in infections.
• In audio leaked to The Daily Beast, Dr Deborah Birx — the White House coronavirus task force chief — told state governors on Monday there had been a resultant drop in testing.
• "Scramble now to make sure there is testing available in urban areas," Birx said.
• Birx also said that relentless yelling by protesters may have outweighed the benefits of wearing masks.

KK.  I am not sure how you got the title subject from the news you posted.   You seem to have missed out several stages of your reasoning.   

It also seems to me that you have left out the value of human life from the equation, only counting worth in terms of "time and money". I hope you don't value your life so little.

Thank you for your explanation.  

{Btw. I am not against people working who need to work, and having worked in financial roles for most of my working life I am aware of a lot of the problems the lock-down has caused.  But going back to work had nothing to do with the news item you posted about which was about protestors and their effect on closing testing stations.}
