a lockdown is never a good idea unless also bailing out the poor and middle class and business owners who suffer. Sure fed govt with trump was never going to bail them out, the one time $1200 was actually kind of surprising that they gave that out but that lasts like a week or two for people trying to survive. So states then should do bailouts if they are ordering lockdowns. Ok is that hard because they can't print their own money? OK go into debt then, it's worth it cuz of muh emergency right? No? Hmmmm.

Truth is this is a scheme by the rich to consolidate power. 99.9% survival so really there is no risk. Old people die every year anyway. It was partly done to hurt the economy so Trump wouldn't win but the rich are actually kind of surprised such a huge power grab worked so they're probably going to keep this going for a little longer.

    no they haven't and their unconstitutional now they were also used in the spanish flu of 2018 but that was also unconstitutional

    Really no countries have had a succesful lockdown now small island nation s that closed the borders have but can't really do that in USA, not after it was already brought here from italy and china

    Now though they are just closing businesses, some businesses, ones that aren't in good with the ruling class, walmart gets to stay open. This is only done to hurt small businesses. Some big chain restaurants like appebies are also being hurt but they weren't favored, the rich don't like to go there.

    You can tell this is fake because of the politicians who order businesses closed also go out to eat and party, they just read their lines they are provided for but know it's not really needed. Even if you catch covid it's gone in a week.

      against first amendment

      thailand now that could be they are testing less, or also could be the are being truthful unlike here where they say a lot of people died of covid who didn't actually have it

      they didn't lock down businesses but then again thats because they don't have any because they're a third world shithole.

        can't shut down businesses, hence why fed govt ain't doing it and biden said he won't, unconstitutional. States are but they're not actual laws, just suggestions, the guy that got arrested recently and pulled out of his bar will sue. Thailand's a hellhole who cares about them.
