Why the Lockdown Lost

Excellent article that asks several poignant questions about the Lockdown. For example:
Townhall.com

Where in the history of medicine have we ever quarantined the healthy? In doing so we dramatically slowed the development of herd immunity. We also didn’t vaccinate our kids, get cancer screenings, and lost life-saving surgery opportunities. We likely also weakened our natural population immunity to some bugs that we will have to now rebuild.

Some people simply want to be scared, that’s the best I can make of it. What’s surprising to me is how many on r/Louisiana fall into this category. I mean yeah it’s reddit but still it being a Louisiana subforum id figure there would be at least some representation from the open up crowd. Nope

Where’s the accountability? Who thought it would be best to only allow treatments for COVID-19 to be applied in hospital settings as opposed to frontline primary care physicians' offices? By doing so we exhausted hospital staffs and actually caused infection to worsen to less curable stages. Who thought it was a great idea to force nursing homes to take COVID-19 cases when death amongst those aged over 70, with underlying conditions, were the ones we were all locked down to protect? What happened to preventing the “Grandma killers,” public health experts?

I didn't bother reading the article, ya know, townhall.com and all that. That said, interesting that that paragraph really spoke to you.
quote:Uh? Pretty much anytime a pandemic shows up? It wasn't just us, either. Most of the world was in quarantine. I guess doctors around the globe don't know wtf they're doing but, rest assured, Joey Rightwing knows!
Where in the history of medicine have we ever quarantined the healthy?
quote:We still aren't 100% sure that the antibodies Covid leaves behind leave people immune. We're literally less than 6 months into this but non-medical people know "herd immunity" from a virus that has already shown signs of mutation is a given?
In doing so we dramatically slowed the development of herd immunity.
quote:I don't even know what this means but if he's talking about current day, all of those things were still occurring and will continue to occur.
We also didn’t vaccinate our kids, get cancer screenings, and lost life-saving surgery opportunities.

Nah, that didn't happen, either.

And this:
quote:
The manipulation of the economy has had a far more devastating impact on the lives of nearly every American. But if anyone noticed and asked a question, the lab coats, the media, and the failed governors would gaslight you. They would attempt to shame you for wondering how a small business you had poured your entire life into would survive. And they would do so even (as the Heritage Foundation reported) if you lived in one of the 82 percent of the counties that reported two COVID-19 related deaths (or less.)
quote:
They have disrupted personal relationships. They have thrown accelerant onto damaged marriages. They have freaked out millions of kids who all wonder if this solitary confinement is the norm and if we will have to live like this again sometime. Graduations and weddings and the memories that get made with them were thrown into the trash heaps. People were forced to tell loved ones goodbye through Zoom, Google, or even text.

We have been an apathetic citizenry for too long.
Voting for an initial behind a name instead of for a person we want to govern us.
It just came home to roost hard and we will see if it wakes us up or if we’re all back asleep by the next election.
DC should be full of state representatives not a uniparty cabal.
Local politicians are somehow even worse. Right now can you even name your local reps? Much less state and federal reps.
This lies solely at our feet.

All the state and larger city subs (including from red states) are left leaning. Some even more than the average Reddit sub.
Even on the few occasions the Alabama football sub had politics brought up, you could tell easily the sub wasn’t very different from rest of Reddit.
So overall pretty similar leaning to Reddit and Reddit as whole isn’t for opening up

Something important is missing here. Surely it's just a coincidence.

No worries. I’ve made it easy for you.

Lab coats in ivory towers—who never treated a single patient – went to Congress and lectured senators. While at least one of them—who is an actual physician, who not only contracted COVID-19 but once recovered—volunteered at his local hospital. Speaking of doctors and gaslighting... Who thought it was a genius move to start ignoring thousands of physicians treating COVID-19 patients? Who thought it was better to take the opinion of a lab coat who flip-flopped on the treatments he admitted he would use if he were practicing?

Wow, you're melting in this thread too.

Agreed. It’s good seeing someone else follow the science and not just rush to save the stock market.

Everyone should take their stimulus money and buy a good suit. They're going to need it for their Zoom interview for their next job.

Seems like a very reliable place to get news after looking at the home page.
