Or maybe instead of ruining the lives of millions we could have isolated the vulnerable and gone on with our lives. Like the barrington accord suggested. Not all wallmarts sell food either. Also per CDC data more people in the US died from lack of access to healthcare during the lockdowns than from covid. So the lockdowns made things worse not better.

We had a chance to prepare, but too many idiots felt it was more important to infect as many people as possible, instead of avoiding social gatherings. That's where the fault lies. Every passenger who came back from China had a responsibility to quarantine for two weeks. They refused because they were either ignorant or an asshole.

That's not the fault of lockdowns. People were going to die simply because Hospitals were overcrowding with dead bodies. That's how bad the situation was when we let Covid get out of control.

/u/radicalcentrist is a conformist corporate media talking points repeater.

100% propaganda bullshit.

Lifting Covid restrictions early never worked. They always ended in failure.

India was the last big example. They did it before everyone was vaccinated, and the result was crematoriums working overtime 24/7, burning more bodies then they can deal with, as well as begging the rest of the world to airdrop oxygen tanks because they exhausted their own supply.

People are too stupid to not take this virus more seriously. If there was an easier solution, we would have done it already, but nobody has. Life can only return to normal when most people are vaccinated. Otherwise, just be patient and wait.

No, I would rather listen to Australia and New Zealand whose governments were some of the most proactive in addressing Covid and as a result, less than a thousand people have died in their countries.

Having restrictions is literally no different to demanding border control. The only way to keep a nation safe from a foreign threat, is to not let them inside your country from the start.

What about the nations and states without lockdowns. There's no clear pattern because there's not meant to be. Scamdemic 101.
