Joe Biden’s Covid advisor Dr. Michael Osterholm called for an unconstitutional 4-6 week nationwide lockdown “like they did in New Zealand and Australia.”
Osterholm said a 6 week nationwide lockdown would get Covid under control and revive the economy.
“We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages, lost wages for individual workers for losses to small companies to medium-sized companies or city, state, county governments. We could do all of that,” Osterholm said. “If we did that, then we could lockdown for four-to-six weeks.”
CNBC reported:
Shutting down businesses and paying people for lost wages for four to six weeks could help keep the coronavirus pandemic in check and get the economy on track until a vaccine is approved and distributed, said Dr. Michael Osterholm.
Osterholm, who serves as director of the Center of Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said earlier this week that the country is headed toward “Covid hell.” Cases are rising as more people grow tired of wearing masks and social distancing, suffering from so-called “pandemic fatigue,” he said Wednesday. Colder weather is also driving people indoors where the virus can spread more easily.
A nationwide lockdown would drive the number of new cases and hospitalizations down to manageable levels while the world awaits a vaccine, he told Yahoo Finance on Wednesday.

“kill the economy” I fixed it..
Pay everybody. Man’s not too good with math...
Man, stop it I’m gunna die laughing.
People are going to rebel and rebellion may be more than simply ignoring any such mandate.
So we’ll save the economy by killing it? Where have I heard that before.
What happens when no one takes the vaccine? I have yet to meet someone who plans on taking it.
Dear Sloe Joe:
You ain’t President yet.
And even if you were - I will not comply.
That should be the motto for ALL of us. I WILL NOT COMPLY WITH THIS ILLEGITIMATE FRAUD.
We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages, lost wages for individual workers for losses to small companies to medium-sized companies or city, state, county governments. We could do all of that,” Osterholm said. “If we did that, then we could lockdown for four-to-six weeks.”

And there it is...pork to the riot cities under the lie of helping. How are the feds and going to save these small and mid sized businesses by sending billions to places like NYC for trans research, or wtf bullshit they put in spending bills.
“People are going to rebel and rebellion may be more than simply ignoring any such mandate.”
Much worse. Liberalism is one of the few mental diseases that NOT should be treated lightly.
Not kidding.
Where does the money come from, to do a nationwide shutdown but still give everyone their paychecks????
Is Biteme talking about a martial law situation? Because he has no authority to do what they are talking about.
Yeah but whos economy...
a billion to this enemy country a billion there...just to help the economy of course...
Univ of Minnesota?
Heh, that state’s proven infection with severe mental problems has already been amply demonstrated.
That, coupled with the fact that most of our universities are now academic laughing stocks, puts the believability of this clown right down there with CNN.
An Economic Covid advisor ?
Covid 19 will usher in socialism.
Do these people know that both Australia and New Zealand are islands. Australia is a continent but it is not contiguous to any other landmass.
And when it doesn’t?
What then?
Another 4-6 weeks?
A ‘nationwide lockdown’ is going to ‘revive the economy’?
Only in Liberal Logic Land, a.k.a., LaLa Land.
There have been a few posters here on FR who claim they’re going to take the coronavirus vaccine. I’m not planning on it, myself, and certainly not before a couple of years of trials have been performed on everyone else.
