Child abuse and domestic abuse are two of the biggest dangers of this lockdown.

[Bonemaker]

Yet another democrat manufactured crisis.

[Gay State Conservative]

So to save 85 year olds with diabetes and dementia we expose thousands and thousands of kids to savage beatings...or worse.

[Gay State Conservative]

Add suicide,bankruptcy and alcoholism to that list.

[The Mayor]

This and spousal abuse at a high

[dontreadthis]

ask Farci and Scarf what they think

[EdnaMode]

Exactly.

No it’s true.

My 87 year old mother keeps hitting me with her cane.

Probably needed stitches last time.

[vpintheak]

Predictable. I would personally love to kick each and every single one of these men’s buttocks. The Mrs would do it to the women.

[Bonemaker]

Good thing there aren't any crumb crunchers around me now!😎

[dp0622]

I had to look that up

lol

children :)

I had an old uncle in his 90s die last year.

Too many lumps in his cereal.

Couldn’t chew anymore and just fell right over.

They wrote “Captain Crunch” as cause of death :)

As a massive group of the population finally learns, it wasn’t the teachers after all...

ask Farci and Scarf what they think

Really glad to see articles like this! I despise the Post as much as anyone, but they will reach the people who need to hear this. Sadly, I don’t think saying either “lockdowns are unconstitutional” or “ lockdowns are not needed” will have any effect on our compliant and fearful populace. The only thing that will move people is to realize the alternative is worse. Trump should have been doing this all along.

[Codeflier]

Sums it up correctly. A large percentage of those dying had an average actuarial life expectancy left of less than a year, given their co-morbidities and age. Many were basically in the process of dying very soon.

Dr bird has two well to do daughters and a nice husband. Actually.

[higgmeister]

The American system of catching child abuse relies on kids venturing outside their homes.

A system that believes that spanking is child abuse. Enough said.

[Getready]

Not sure if SEEING more cases means there ARE more cases.

[reg45]

Who would have predicted that? LOL!

[JohnBrowdie]

end the lockdown. think of the children.
