All those Boomers won't be going to the malls and tourist places. Most of them will be staying at home and keeping away from people. Same with many younger people.

I'd much prefer a level-3 lockdown every few months than the alternative.
Which will be half the population living under self-imposed level 3 and random death and shit.
