Same idea with the flu shot. Doesn’t limit the flu it limits the seriousness of the symptoms of the flu.

This is absolutely incorrect, just Google it. The Flu shot limits your chances of getting the flu by as much as 70%. The Covid vaccine is the only vaccine out there that does nothing to prevent you from contracting and spreading the virus.

How many died where being locked down played a role in their death is a number I'd love to know.


I’m sure it played a huge part in nursing home residents being locked in their rooms 24/7 & kept from their family

The lockdowns were absolutely idiotic and anyone still supporting that shite truly didn’t care about the data. Many credible epidemiologists said this thing was going to come and go in unpredictable waves all along. The data showed this 3 months in. It also showed kids weren’t at serious risk.

That said, no adults had to follow this shite hardcore. You could be out and about. There was no requirement to stay inside or avoid social contact. People who did that shite were either bought into the idea that it was plague or were looking for excuses to be hermits.

I do feel for adolescents and teenagers in this though. They were held hostage in many states and have lost what will never be recovered.

So Trump was wrong on lock downs. He should have fought them from the beginning. Really the only negative I have on him with the way he handled Covid.


I believe Trump left it up to the individual states as to whether to implement shutdowns.

I like how you ignore that they are simply reporting a study from John Hopkins and acting like the post made up the data

You can stay locked down if you choose. Might want to get out of FL, though. They DGAF about your bitching about people not wearing masks.

Lockdowns initially was key. It saves many lives by limiting the amount of people who got the virus while Heath care figured out how to treat it. Now simple safety precautions such as mask in crowded places like schools allow schools to remain open. Then if everyone that could get vaccinated it would allow us to get back to normal. Vaccine doesn’t stop you from getting COVID it prevents you from the serious side affects and/or death. Same idea with the flu shot. Doesn’t limit the flu it limits the seriousness of the symptoms of the flu.


^^^^^Every single bit of that is^^^^^

So you’re under the impression that viral spread didn’t occur in your area until they told you it did or until there was a PCR test to detect Covid? Wrong!
I had a bad viral infection at the start of February’20 negative for both strains of the flu that lingered for three weeks and eventually turned into bilateral pneumonia. I was one of dozens in Columbia, MISSOURI that were suffering from a strange viral infection going around, but we all were displaying the exact same symptoms of the China virus on the news. FFW to April ‘20 and the University and local hospital emailed myself and everyone whom displayed the same symptoms and had tested negative for the flu strains. Clinical study to find out when true community spread began and they were desperately searching for possible plasma donors. Blood test that was taken through University Hospital and analyzed at Johns Hopkins, 72 hrs. later I’m positive for antibodies.
Those community spread studies occurred all over this country and none ever saw the light of day on the MSM or social media.
You can’t close Pandora’s box when it’s been open for weeks or months at a time.

Taking Tylenol and rushing to the ER if you literally can’t breath isn’t healthcare, it’s the equivalent of blood letting w/ leeches.
Fortunately I had a true physician whom immediately started me on a steroid treatment on a nebulizer antibiotics to help dry up the shite in my lungs and another steroid treatment 72 hrs. post initial consult and week from initial visit right as rain.

The rest this idiot spouted is so much fantasy I’m not gonna bother responding unless he’d like me to tear him/her a 3rd a-hole.

Its not from John Hopkins, one author is a prof at John Hopkins.

It's cherry picked data, much of it "working papers" , not peer reviewed studies, by economists. This paper conveniently ignores peer reviewed studies by epidemiologists that would refute the author's conclusion. Its a propaganda piece, not a study.

Trump bashed Kemp for trying to open up. How people on here continually get this wrong on here is hilarious. Trump pushed lockdowns. There is no denying it.

Unfortunately this has become the norm for most papers that are cited by media on both sides of the political aisle and a major reason I left academia. However to call it propaganda is nonsense. It just shows that it goes against what you believe so rather than have to come up with a factual rebuttal you simply claim it to be propaganda thus making it unworthy of debate. Science should be untainted by politics, but unfortunately that is no longer the case.

Ahh yes, one of the pillars of right-wing ideology, science can't be trusted even when the overwhelming majority of scientists come to the same conclusion. The fact is this particular paper is propaganda written by an economist who works for a right-wing think tank.

We had a group of trauma patients with bad lung issues that didn’t fit with their injury pattern…all the way back in October 2019. Many of our division got a really bad upper respiratory infection in November and December. Lasted 2-3 weeks, with cough persisting for another month. All tested negative for the usual players.

Once we knew what to look for on CT, all of those patients had Covid based on CT. Unfortunately, at that time, the antibody testing was terrible so we couldn’t prove it that way.

Find where that actually happened.

It was people like you who were whining about "my kids can't even play in the front yard" when nobody ever said that either. The general public couldn't even be bothered with the simple measures, much less a lockdown (something I've not once been a proponent of).

Honest question, how many people here have actually been subjected to an actual lockdown?
