I think "doesn't help anyone" is a bit of a stretch, since many tech workers actually did quite well during the lockdown, since they were forced to spend less due to a lack of options.

I'm in Ontario so what is being discussed does have an affect on me and I really don't know if a lockdown is the answer. What I do know is our Premier (Doug Ford) is a fuck up. We should be much more prepared by now and this lock-down talk is him panicking because we have no way better way to manage outbreaks.
