“bottom of the barrel media”
I like that. Mind if I steal it?
Partly correct.
If what you mean by "lockdown" is what was done in parts of the US, you are correct.
But what the French call "confinement", which they did for nine weeks in April through June, DOES reduce new cases to a very low level, near zero.
BUT.
When they relaxed in June, even a little bit, to the level of an American "lockdown", explosive spread began, is still going on, and they are now well above cases/100K population in the US.
Mike Osterholm has, in the past, been advocating for a total cessation of social and economic activity for "as long as it takes",
The French found nine weeks to be intolerable and unsustainable. "As long as it takes" is a fantasy concept, because that might be two YEARS.
No we didn't.
What he means is stay in your house. No visitors. Get a police pass to go to buy food or medicine. Found on the street with no pass, go to a quarantine facility for two-three weeks.Their cases went to near zero, they found it intolerable, and when they relaxed just a little bit, their cases exploded to well above US levels.
But we didn't "try it", not ever, and it does "work" for as long as you do it.
No.
Looking at his advisory panel (I am familiar with the work of most of them), he most certainly will.
Don’t forget, they will be coming for our guns when BLM and ANTIFA burn down the cities.
@ post 62 - Don’t know who Claire is, but an interesting observation.
Therefore lockdowns don’t work.
Philippines has been on a military and police lockdown, er martial law, since March. Cases continue to increase... full face mask, face shield and quarantine passes required.
Just like the Philippines...
And just like the Philippines. No further aid. Everyone is just SOL.
Looking to control the masses by a lying stealing cheating illegitimate not so soon to be president
I remember when we were talking two-week shutdown to “flatten the curve.” That was MANY months ago.
Based on what law?
They need laws? Really?

Minnie Pearl knew more about this country’s economy than all of the Biden crew.
