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!!

Like it has been said before - America is sick and needs to get healthier. This Wuhan Flu has shown that we all need to generally get in better shape so that we don't have and average 2.5 comorbidities to begin with.

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.

"Does the Pope crap on the Vatican" might be more accurate.

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.

It. Was. Supposed. To. Be. Temporary.
After the first 2 weeks the law of diminishing returns kicked in but the politicians and mini-hitler governors would not let go of the extra power.

“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.
