Lockdowns are merely forced gatherings..
Author and statistician William M. Briggs argues that lockdowns don’t work because they force people to gather in fewer places like supermarkets and therefore spread viruses faster than if people were allowed to spread out.
Writing for LockdownSkeptics.org, Briggs states, “A lockdown will spread this bug faster than allowing people to remain at liberty.”
The author notes that a lockdown is not the same as a quarantine. Under lockdown, people only have a limited selection of venues at which they are allowed to gather, meaning those locations are busier and therefore make a virus more transmissible.
“Lockdowns are merely forced gatherings,” writes Briggs. “People in lockdown are allowed to venture forth from their dwellings to do “essential” activities, like spending money at oligarch-run stores. These stores are collection points, where people are concentrated. Some are allowed to go to jobs, such as supporting oligarch-run stores.”
Briggs notes that lockdown concentrates people into fewer areas outside before it “then it forces them back inside to mingle with a vengeance.”
“It’s clear that our 100% transmissible bug will spread much faster when people are forced to spend more time indoors with each other. Once one person gets it, he will spread it to those at his home immediately. If people were at liberty, and therefore more separated, the bug would still spread to everybody, but more slowly (the speed here is relative),” he writes.
“Lockdowns force people together. The venues they are allowed to venture to are restricted, and therefore concentrate contact, and they force people inside their homes where it’s obvious contact time increases. Lockdowns concentrate contact spaces and times,” concludes Briggs.
Briggs’ assertion is also backed up by how people spend their leisure time under lockdown. With most shops, cinemas and other entertainment venues closed, people in major cities pour en masse into parks or beaches where ‘social distancing’ is virtually impossible because there are so many people around.
In London, rates of COVID-19 infection were higher after the November lockdown than before it started.

This is why Florida and Texas are doing better than Eeeew Yuck and Californicate.
Yep. I was ranting about this during the first “two weeks to flatten the curve” (remember that?) lockdown.
Close everything, and force everyone into walmart and the grocery store. F’in brilliant.
I swear our overlords are TRYING to destroy humanity.
People with a brain recognize that the virus exists but that it will not destroy humanity. The virus kills at least some people, but the numbers are inflated and in any case, we’ve been through worse.
But the reaction that our overlords are forcing on us? Definitely engineered to destroy everything. They are going for the Great Reset, and this deliberate overreaction to the virus is their most valuable tool.
Covid - PCR test is pandemic fraud / medically worthless: even the New York Times finally admits it.. 90 percent of people who tested positive in July with a cycle threshold of 40 would have been deemed negative if the threshold were 30 cycles...
~ Dr. Michael Mina, an epidemiologist from Harvard to whom The Times essay refers, puts it.

No, but the likes of Bill Gates wouldn’t mind a little decrease in population.
everyone knows you are immune when in a Walmart, a liberal protest, or the drive through lane!
The wretch Gretchen Whitmer had a rising pride in her voice as she proclaimed recently “We saved thousands of lives” by her mandatory edicts and lockdowns that destroyed the enterprises of business owners and the lives of laid off workers such as waitstaff and store clerks.
As critics said she keeps saying “I follow science” (a lie) and then absolutely refuses to release what “science” and evidence she is going by. It’s her little secret to benefit herself politically.

The dumbasses at Walmart changed the entry and exit points at the Super Walmart’s here in Texas. Entry was at one end, rope barriers directing people in through one automated door. You had to leave from the far end of the building, again through double automated doors.
People do dumb things, and many people would stop once inside at this bottleneck and ask directions. Could you create such a cluster where infection could spread any easier if not by design?
LOL
Leftist BLM supporter to companion in defund the police march as buildings are being set on fire ahead of them: "I feel so safe. It's giving me goosepimples." "Yeah, me, too."
PCR Tests have allowed tyrants to issue insanely authoritative orders.. Never letting a crisis go to waste >> the great reset.
As an aside, this also clearly explains the disappearance of the “flu” during this flu season .
Kalifornia and others with draconian lockdowns have already proved this...
Obey, Citizen!
The local Walmart I shop at on occasion doesn't do this. My beef with them is they don't have any hand sanitizer stations at the store exits. They can afford it.....

oh I know... This is old news. A positive PCR test alone is utterly meaningless, except as a rudimentary data point in tracking progress toward herd immunity.
Your Coronavirus Test Is Positive. Maybe It Shouldn’t Be.
