You can still shop from home, order food, buy a lot of services, etc.
That's not how boomers (and even just suburban Americans in general imo) like to consume though. Suburban Americans love getting in their car and spending a day on the weekend going from store to store just looking for things to buy and stopping at a restaurant for lunch and dinner.
I agree with you the lockdown sucks for everyone, but for suburban Americans it largely sucks because they can't leave their homes to consume which is how they spend a majority of their time.

This is just a hack Bush-era lib comedian take on dumb fat Americans. A lot of the initial lockdowns closed parks, beaches, etc. which is way more of a leash than "greedy Boomers can't go to Fuddruckers and cough on a heroic waiter"

I mean check the videos from the lockdown protests, parks had reopened and people were still out protesting.
I'm not saying it was a majority of the people, just the loudest bunch. That's why I specifically mentioned suburban americans.
