These same conversations and life vs economy discussions happened in 1918 and, just like today, there were folks on both sides of the fence, protests, and different communities taking different approaches.
I’ve read every San Diego newspaper from the last half of 1918 (I did that back in March when this all started) and the parallels to what they did then to what we are doing now are striking.
For all of the advances in technologies and record-keeping we’ve made in 100 years, the approaches and reactions to those approach are largely the same.
