The “one life” stuff is nonsense. We balance life and economy (among other things) every day. Otherwise we’d have a 10mph speed limit and we’d ban backyard swimming pools.
There’s a sane and reasonable balance of when and how to open the economy. But that won’t happen in most places because, like everything, the issue has been politicized by BOTH sides.
I just had to cancel my annual trip to Maine in late July because the governor’s roll out plan includes a 14 day quarantine for anyone coming from out of state. Yeah, I go to an island in Maine to sit in the house for 14 days. I think that’s just a bit of overkill. My wife looks forward to this every year, more than anything else. We have family there. Oddly, they will visit MA this summer and return home to Maine but will not have to quarantine when they return. :P
