Were the Lockdowns a Mistake? Does a cat have whiskers?
Thanks to the enacted lockdowns, a lot of Americans got their ‘first toe joint in the water’ of Socialism, and found it distasteful.
Thank you, democrats!!
Does the Pope crap in the Vatican?
And it is not hard - I lost 20lb during this whole episode by doing something so revolutionary - it's a new diet craze sweeping the nation, it's called ...shhhh... eat less.
YES, especially so after the Hydroxychloroquine + Zinc protocol was made known, and after the Budesonide via nebulizer treatment was made known.
We don’t need to lockdown, we don’t need masks, we don’t need social distancing — none of this is needed. The pandemic is really a political war and all of us are collateral damage.
Hindsight is always 20-20. I think the lockdowns should have stopped in April and HCQ should have been readily available.
Yes.
Yes, next question.

History will record this period as one of the, if not the, most foolish endeavors of a supposedly intelligent society.
I believe the lock down at the being was not a mistake Because China was not sharing information with the World, the World did not know what it was dealing with. Once everyone got an understanding of what it was, then politics came into full swing. If you remember, Our President wanted to reopen first around April 15 and then April 30th. He knew what we were dealing with then, but again politics starting running the show. Just wish people could put 2 and 2 together. But they can’t because they are so dumbed down.
Initially, the measures made sense. There was a lot that was unknown. Now, there’s a lot that’s known that just isn’t true. We are definitely at war, because the truth was the first casualty. A listing of the lies about this hoax would be fun. From the false positives in testing, to the fake death rate, to masks vs. no masks, to the treatments that obviously have at least some validity (until the #badorangeman talks about them) ...
It’s all so tiresome.
“Were the Lockdowns a Mistake?”
That depends on what the objective was. If it was to damage the economy and get people used to following arbitrary government dictates, it worked brilliantly. If it was to take down Trump, the jury is still out.
If it was to stop the spread of the virus, based on no logic or science other than following the example of the Chinese, welding people into their homes, then yes, it was a mistake. One that continues to this day.
Were the Lockdowns a Mistake?
the TWO WEEKS they originally said they wanted to get ready, were not. Everything else, yes.
I stopped right there. First, it is not a nagging question. Second, the answer does not "seem". It is yes, and it has definitively been yes from the very beginning. There has been no question about it. Period.
Far too many people, including many Fearpers, seem (see, I can use that word too) to think it is a good idea to trade freedom and liberty for a false sense of security. It isn't even real security. They are still afraid.
What a pathetic way to live a life, being afraid of every little thing.
The cause of this is a reliance on government. Individualism is dead to many Americans. If you have someone carry you around for too long you are no longer able to walk. That's exactly what is happening. People do not take individual responsibility in many parts of their lives, so now they must take "collective" responsibility. They are closet socialist, many of them calling themselves conservatives. They just don't know how weak and cowardly they are. They are unable to stand up for freedom and liberty.
When I write unable to stand up, that is a metaphor, it's not physical, it is mental. They are weak in the mind. Weak in principles. Weak in personal responsibility. Weak in faith.
I have written many times from the beginning of this political hoax that people need to take personal responsibility for their health and safety. Certainly, if one has a compromised immune system they have a personal responsibility to extra precautions for many things, even the yearly seasonal flu. The ChiCom flu is no different. However, they should not destroy the economy, shutter businesses, wipe away people's livelihoods, dreams, and their freedoms and liberties.
We are not getting back the freedoms and liberties that we have lost. Every time we sacrifice freedom and liberty for security we permanently lose the freedom and liberty. We are always told it is only temporary, like bending the curve or to fight terrorism. We have been fighting terrorism for 20+ years and we gave up all sorts of liberties that we will never get back. There was another way to obtain security from terrorism and there certainly was another way to obtain security from the ChiCom flu. In both cases, we did not need to lose our freedoms
So if you are Fearper, shame on you. You are a weak coward, unable to take personal responsibility. You are part of the problem. You want collective responsibility. You are nothing more than a closet socialist. You are the enemy because you stole our freedom and liberty.
COVID-19 was a test for America. We failed miserably.
I knew this country was doomed when I saw how many FREEPERS (of all people) felt a need to get on this website and scold their fellow citizens for refusing to shut down their lives and hide under their beds.
Of course they were a mistake, an ONGOING MISTAKE!
That depends...what was someone trying to accomplish? If the mission was to flatten the economy and small businesses, hang up the banner. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!
