if any one of the fear mongers on this board can read this article and actually still say there was ever a reason to lock down then they are hopeless and should go to daily kos Well, I don't know about the "fear mongers", but there were quite a few people who just made their observations based on reality - you have not been one of them. Many people have "chronic illnesses" and most of them live many years - even many decades - with them, that died far sooner because of this virus. Those chronic illnesses don't lead to hospitals being overwhelmed that they simply have to leave some people to die, numerous medical staff dying including over 100 doctors, mortuaries being overwhelmed, so many dead bodies they need to call in the military for assistance, etc. All of that happened - and it didn't happen due to "chronic illnesses" - it happened because of COVID19. It's called reality. It's called facts. Sometimes facts and reality are bad - even really bad - that doesn't change the reality that it exists.
I read about six words of that :-) you’ve got to be kidding. It looks like an editorial for the New York times
A little less wordy next time :-)
take care
All of that happened - and it didn't happen due to "chronic illnesses" - it happened because of COVID19.
No, they died because of many reasons, maybe Covid-19 was one of them, but they were old and they died, and that is reality, whether you like it or not.
...numerous medical staff dying including over 100 doctors, mortuaries being overwhelmed...
NONSENSE! There is absolutely no truth to that statement, whatsoever. Indeed, there has NOT been a significant rise in the death rate this year, over the most recent years. Nobody is being overwhelmed. In fact, there were temporary hospitals set up in many places that never received a single Covid-19 patient.
