It seems to me lockdowns can only be effective if there isn’t a single person carrying the virus and able to transmit it by the time the lockdown is over. Because everybody in lockdown has not been exposed to it so that one person will infect 5 who will infect 5 and so on.
Sometimes you just have to get the dirty work over and move on with life.
my mom is 87 and she said she’d rather see the country going full-throttle even with a Chance of her dying, than seeing this.
See people out there who are terrified like little girls, my 87 year old mother is much more likely to get it than you and she’s much less afraid and cares much more about the country.
she’s also not terrified of death because she has real religion and real belief.
a lot of people that we all know were exposed for what they really are because of this virus.
The best times don’t show you what a person is made of but the worst do
Think about that tonight
Burned up a lot of goodwill, bona fides, and respect.
I hope the voters notice that!
Religion and country are crucial. The WWII Generation had something to believe in, for which to make sacrifices.
Today’s youth? Who knows what the heck they believe in. Hope and change won’t cut it.
God Bless your mother. She sounds like a strong, sensible woman with spunk.
She is spot on. We HAVE to open the country. There’s no alternative.
A Great Depression will kill more people than this virus ever could.
I’m so sick of the fear mongers comparing the WuFlu to diseases such as the Spanish Flu. The Spanish Flu was an absolute horror show and a virus to fear. The WuFlu isn’t even in the same category. It’s a bad cold compared to the Spanish Flu.
An interesting observation from the Spanish Flu pandemic: Patients in the Open Air Field Hospitals were three times more likely to survive the virus and healed much quicker. The fresh air and sunshine helped kill the virus.
That fact alone should be a strong argument against the draconian lockdowns.
Best of luck to you and your mother.
BTW, today was my mother’s 78th Birthday. She would kill me if she knew that I revealed that on a public forum, LOL.
The point of the lockdowns was to keep the hospitals from overflowing. That has been done and I’m grateful. Things are starting to open up and I hope folks will be careful.
People will still get sick and die. And if the numbers start rising to the point of threatening the hospital system again, things will start to shut down again.
