Had this been a real public emergency, the very FIRST thing that should have shut down was public transport. What better way to spread the disease than to cram loads of people into tight quarters all breathing the same air and dispersing them far and wide, eh?
What they DID do was shut down small business, forcing more people to shop at big businesses. This exposed them to a GREATER likelihood of infection as more people were concentrated in fewer places.
This is just all part and parcel of the great reset as the real goal has to do with concentration of wealth. We have experienced an absolutely enormous transfer of wealth away from the middle class and into the hands of Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, the Walton family and any of a number of oligarchs.
What I find odd about all of this is the extremely large number of profoundly stupid people who think they are being "liberal" for lending their unquestioning support to Goliath as he squashes David. It's not supposed to work that way, folks, as actual liberalism involves supporting the little guy against the powerful machine, instead.
