Just remember; the whole "reopen" movement was never about actual freedom. It was an astroturf operation to give states with Republican governors cover so they could cut people off of unemployment rolls and keep the GOP writ large from supporting government spending.
By framing it as a false binary choice between lockdowns and reopening, the right essentially killed any discussions on what resources the government could bring to bear to negate the impact of COVID-19. They'd rather put people's lives at risk than nationalize payrolls.
Let's be honest, the GOP doesn't care about the paycheck economy. They don't want you to go to work because they support your "freedom." They want you back at work because you generate corporate profits and drive up the markets for the investor economy. This is for their donors.
