They don't have a fricking clue what to attribute any spike to....they just make it up right out of thin air.
This. They say, "Well the people aren't listening, and shame on you peons. Now the beatings will continue until morale improves." Yet they have ZERO factual evidence of what is causing the spread.
And you know what is causing the spread? NOTHING. More testing. This virus is mostly harmless for ALL. If you are immunocompromised you should self isolate. If you are elderly, you're chances of survival drop to 96%. If you are a normal person, your chances of survival, if you get it, is 99%.

ou don't get that a Democrat governor drunk on power, who has stated many times he wants federal aid, and hasn't budged on lockdowns because he hasn't gotten federal aid, will continue to lockdown in the hopes of a Democrat President getting in office, and thus having a greater chance of receiving federal aid?
You are naive.
the same Democratic governor that didn't move us to lockdown when we had double the cases and hospitalizations in July when we were still in the middle of election season?
You may be right, but this feels like more fear mongering than anything.

I'm on the horn with GOHSEP right now.
We've got a 211 in progress

Haven't seen my parents since early March. They self quarantined, without the need for mommy government to tell them to do so. My dad is immunocompromised. My parents have said they won't go out until given the all clear by my dad's dr. and that won't happen until a vaccine. My parents are doing what so many useless liberals and Karens do not do. Take accountability for your own health, and not demand others that are not affected by this virus to lock down with them.

You don't think we're on lockdown now? How many Louisiana restaurant/bar owners have you talked to?

2 more weeks/4 more weeks. How many fricking times have you heard this? Based on what fricking evidence are we locking down or restricting freedom of everyday people?

His definition of lockdown is different than yours. He’s not talking about going back into a major lockdown like in April he’s just talking about more restrictions

Oh ok. This is what y'all are doing. Y'all are changing definitions of words.
Just FYI, when people say "lockdown", they mean the forcible closures of all "non essential" businesses, like we had back in March and April.
Yes. We currently still have restrictions. Yes, I oppose those restrictions, but no, we are not currently still in a lockdown in which most people are projecting is coming in the next few weeks.

Any restriction to free trade/movement of our people is antithetical to our constitution. This is what i call a "lockdown".

A public figurehead determining what constitutes "essential" vs. "non-essential" is antithetical to the United States Constitution. This is what i call a "lockdown".

Are businesses able to trade freely without overburdensome restrictions that is destroying businesses? Are public schools causing irreparable harm, moreso than normal, with their lack of teaching? Are there still "conditions" applied to private citizens in exchange for freedom to move about as one wishes?
These are things i call a lockdown. If you like, we can call them seizure of freedoms. Nothing less than the removal of all restrictions imposed by the Governor is acceptable.

notice how the local and National media no longer mention or show stats regarding deaths and rarely hospitalizations. It’s only case count % increase now, then they jump straight into a heartbreaking CV19 piece or how more lockdowns could be coming soon.
The other thing is none of the media ever highlights the continuing declining death rate.
Currently in Louisiana using the confirmed deaths / confirmed cases we are at 2.95% deaths as a percentage of total confirmed positive cases. That number has declined from a high of 7.07% on May 16th.
And this is at a time while the number of folks going to get tested has declined from the surge testing and positivity has risen. Although it's worth noting the current daily positivity rate they keep harping about is still below the total running positivity rate.

You can’t change the definition of a word to suit your preferences or views.

well then we have been on lockdown for over a century then
you can have your own definitions all you want, just going forward, you should know that isn't the widely accepted definition and is only going to cause confusion and arguments going forward
but that is probably the point, so...

Restricting businesses via executive orders with no end in sight via "2 more weeks" followed by "4 more weeks" is locking down business growth, revenue, profit, and wages. So yes, by definition, this is a lockdown.

Well said, but he’ll still come up with some emotional irrational argument against it

curious as to why you didn't argue with the OP about this then?
or any of the other threads asking if we were moving to another lockdown?

Mask mandates, overburdensome regulations on specific industries that make it nearly impossible to do business. These are LOCKDOWNS. Lockdowns of personal freedoms. Remove the regulations, and we are FREE. Thus free of the binds that Edwards has placed on us.
You only think lockdowns refers to total shutdowns. That is not true. There are varying degrees of lockdowns, as i have demonstrated. I know you like to play devil's advocate, but even you recognize this now.

Maybe, like you, he doesn't understand that a lockdown isn't necessarily only a complete shutdown.

You want to know why i don't follow every thread regarding lockdowns on the O-T? Because i don't frequent this particular board very often.

I'm not the one being a contrarian here. I'm going by the widely accepted terminology we have had since this thing began.
