How long/much of a lockdown will people tolerate?

I do fear a day when a certain libertarian-minded segment of the population decides, oh, fuck all you old people, just catch this thing, die and let the rest of us get on with our lives. I can easily imagine this approach becoming acceptable to some.

That day was yesterday:

The issue I have is that in The Stand, the Captain Trips virus actually killed 99% of people and everyone who got it; the survivors simply had an immunity to it. I understand the extreme measure for that.

For this we are wrecking the economy and people’s lives for a disease that the vast majority of people survive without the need for any medical attention at all.
