Revive the economy? That must be one of the new, magic lockdowns.

Is this still the way pretty much everyone thinks?

"4 to 6 weeks will turn into 4 to 6 months."

Like it already did, in so many places.

And when it doesn't work (again), they will simply blame the red states and say it's their fault for not welding people in their basements for the duration.

The vaccine came too quickly. Time to move the goal post, again. So Biden can act like he did something.

First this ‘expert’ says: ‘...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.”

Then he says: “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.”

How is he going to enforce a nation wide lockdown when he admits the nation is suffering from Pandemic Fatigue?
A sign of a foolish man is the tendency to doubledown on failed polcies.

“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,” he said. “If we did that, then we could lockdown for four-to-six weeks.”

What kind of economics are they teaching in medical school these days?

Biden: “Let get the economy rolling. We’ll lockdown everyone indefinitely and then tax those who still earn at 80%.”

Everyone will be congregating at Walmart and Home Depot, funneled into one entrance/exit just like the first time. This is lunacy. Advice for everyone: Wash your hands, don’t cough and sneeze on other people, don’t be gross, get sunshine and use your head.

” We gave lockdowns a chance nearly a year ago. “

6.5 months is “nearly a year”?

Scary stuff. How is a national lockdown different that martial law?

Even with a total lockdown for x number of months, that wouldn’t stop the virus. As long as people are coming into the country the virus is being imported into the country en masse every day.
If the US exercised absolute control over it’s borders and shut them down completely, that would bring the virus under control after it did it’s thing among the populace. Kind of the “New Zealand Solution”.

My niece had Covid in July. It was like a bad cold. She had it and got over it fast.

Didn’t we do that once? And it didn’t work! Biden really wants to punish the US for being great by making it crappy.

"I seem to remember that Dr Phu Xi said the mitigation efforts were only needed until we had a vaccine. Well Pfizer announced they had one."

The Pfizer vaccine? Nice try! That is tainted with Trump cooties you know! (sarcasm)
