Message: [QUOTE="Lisak1, post: 447940, member: 6145"] We were expressly told the goal of "flattening the curve" was to slow the spread to allow the medical system to keep pace. Hospitalizations and deaths have not kept pace with the positivity rate, which again is good news. Lockdown ends death? People still die of other causes, locked down or not. And the evidence shows plenty have died as a result of lockdowns. We should only fear death by covid? Seems shortsighted. Plenty of other things to fear if that's how one views the world. The fear of Covid is hugely overblown, statistically speaking. Perhaps if the media spent more time sharing the positive trends the fear would diminish. Really? I'll define it in a few short words - no interaction with anyone from outside your home for a prescribed period of time. Hard lockdown. And I certainly do take into consideration what you say. I wouldn't engage in a conversation if I wasn't interested in what others think or say. That doesn't mean I agree. But if you don't feel people who think like me are worth your time, that's fine. Certainly not the first time I've been told that. Here's an article by an economist for anyone who might be interested in another view on lockdowns: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.aier.org/article/lockdowns-recreated-a-pre-modern-caste-system/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
