That's like being locked down for a ragweed pollen alert IMHO.

Total authoritarians. That would never happen here with a "liberal" President like Joe Biden.

They can do what they want but I refuse to quarantine, lockdown ever again. That said if people start bleeding out their eyes and a-hole falling dead everywhere I may consider…

If people start bleeding out their assholes and eyes, it will be easy to avoid them and they probably will die before becoming contagious.


Just don’t hold a costume party and lock yourselves in.

Was a lame choice on my part with 100 stories to choose from.

Here's a very descriptive one I will also put in the OP:

UPI News?

March 11 (UPI) -- Chinese authorities sent a northeastern city of nine million people into lockdown on Friday as the country has seen daily COVID-19 cases top 1,000 this week for the first time since the early days of the pandemic, which originated in Wuhan.

The residents of Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province, have been ordered to stay at home while all non-essential businesses and stores are shuttered, state-run media said on Friday. Schools will be closed and all transportation services will be suspended under the indefinite shutdown, the state-run Global Times reported.


One person from each household will be allowed to go out once every two days to buy supplies as the city undergoes a scheduled three rounds of mass testing.

China's National Health Commission reported 1,369 new COVID-19 cases on Friday, with Jilin Province one of the hardest-hit areas during a recent surge driven by the highly contagious Omicron variant.


COVID-19 surges in Hong Kong with 300,000 cases, 1,200 deaths in week
Other cities have also started taking measures with targeted lockdowns, including Shanghai, which ordered all schools to move to online classes starting on Saturday.

The latest outbreak is putting China's "zero-COVID" approach to controlling the spread of the virus to its sternest test yet. The government has managed to limit outbreaks through mass testing, shutdowns and tight border controls.


Omicron doing WORK. How is it possible that people still think lockdowns work after two years of abject failure?
