It was a radical idea in 1776 & it’s a radical idea today: that govts are instituted to secure “the right of all people to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Someone economically locked down in a survival mode from which they can’t escape is not free to pursue happiness

Are you suggesting the government shouldn't implement a lockdown? I don't agree. This is an unusual set of circumstances, the likes of which one line from the declaration of ind. is unlikely to cope with. When the virus passes, I hope they can pursue happiness.
