Sir Ivan is a very religious man. He believes in faith foremost. Which means he dismisses reason to a point. Listen to his, especially latter day, lyrics and you would understand.
In Sir Ivan's case I tend to overlook this agenda because he is such a great artist and poet. And great artists are sometimes flawed. Like the rest of us...
I think you mean 'Sir George Ivan'?

Van Morrison to Release Protest Songs Against Covid-19 Lockdown
Northern Ireland health minister says new songs are “dangerous”
Van Morrison accuses the U.K. government of “taking our freedom” in three new songs bashing the worldwide lockdown to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
In “No More Lockdown,” the most on-the-nose of the three tracks, Morrison plainly lays out his thoughts: “No more lockdown/No more government overreach/No more fascist bullies/Disturbing our peace/No more taking of our freedom/And our God-given rights/Pretending it’s for our safety/When it’s really to enslave.”
In another song, according to the BBC, Morrison references a widely shared Facebook post of a screenshot from the U.K. government’s website, stating that “Covid-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the U.K.” While it is true that Covid-19 currently does not meet the criteria for an HCID in the U.K., it is still highly infectious the world over, with a possibility of a second national lockdown in the U.K. on the horizon, according to the BBC.
Northern Ireland’s health minister Robin Swann has referred to the new trio of Morrison songs as “dangerous,” telling the BBC: “I don’t know where he gets his facts. I know where the emotions are on this, but I will say that sort of messaging is dangerous.”

You’re talking out of your arse, but if the average age of Morrison’s fans is around 82-years-old, I concede, you may have a point.
No, I don’t suspect it is the right time to reopen completely and have mass-gathering events, but let’s have some perspective here, please.

Wow an expert on the topic. If people like you want to go out and take those risks then you deserve whatever happens. If you really think the only people who are dying are people in their 80's then go for it.

Musicians in Nashville are most likely going to file a class action lawsuit against the mayor, who blatantly lied to the public and inflated transmission rates in bars and restaurants. The evidence is plain and clear. I doubt he's the only one guilty of this:

The National Review isn't exactly a neutral source, and all the Nashville musicians I know are certainly not going to be filing any lawsuits, given that they're responsible people who support all the necessary precautions.

Hopefully we'll find out how accurate this report is. Many musicians who have been affected by this are discussing legal reparations. To be continued...

I am aware that younger people have passed away, yes. However, statistically, very, very few. Going by the death certificates I’ve seen - my line of work - the vast majority had dates-of-birth raging from the 1930’s-50’s; most of whom had underlying health-conditions.

Statistically most people who die of anything except for drug overdoses and accidents are more like to have been born in the 30's-50's than younger so what does that actually prove. Covid deaths are highly preventable if precautions are taken. Why aren't older people dying at similar rates in Canada? Can you explain that or are you just talking out of your arse?

If you contract covid, what precautions can one take to avoid death? It’s down to general health, age, etc. If you have a weakened immune system, you could be in trouble, potentially. The reason the elderly make-up - by far - the fatality-rate, is because they fit that demographic. So, tell me: in Canada, are as many thirty-year-old’s dying as the elderly inhabitants?
