See its this kind of stuff that really pisses me off. It was very rarely about health. It was about optics and politics. 

Oh man, those socialist swedes with modern healthcare and some of the best healthcare outcomes in the world. Why would they do this!?    https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/sweden-decides-a

Well that was a fun 2 years

Yeah well you didn't have to live in Canada all that time. Even now fully vaccinated could JUST go back to their gyms. Some colleges and universities are still doing online "learning".. Online is no substitute for in person. And the loss of those years for social interaction. The amount of small business that closed here is just crazy. Meanwhile overdose deaths dwarfed covid deaths and no one gave a shit.

A study by an economics professor who constantly whines about the monetary affects of lockdowns should be interesting. I admit I skimmed and my brain isn't in a place to parse that data atm. Did either of you cucks read any of it or just circle jerking off of the title?

I can't seem to find any sites that reported on this that you wohld deem acceptable 

 

We find no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality,” reads the paper , which is based on a review of 34 pre-existing COVID-19 studies.

 

'Given the “devastating effects” that lockdowns have caused, the authors recommended they be “rejected out of hand as a pandemic policy instrument.”

In both Europe and the United States, researchers found that a lockdown could only be expected to bring down mortality rates by 0.2 per cent “as compared to a COVID-19 policy based solely on recommendations.” For context, 0.2 per cent of total Canadian COVID-19 fatalities thus far is equal to about 70 people.

The impact of border closures was found to be even less effective, with death rates only going down about 0.1 per cent.

Yeah, that's just them saying what the study says.

Pretty hard to quantify how effective it was, especially when the statistics are dubious in many cases, like all the people who died with Covid who are now in the statistics of the total death toll from Covid. 

 

But the psychological and economic damage, especially to the new generation of kids and small businesses shutting down is easy to see. Also, we can't ignore the suicide rates going up in just about every country that practiced lockdowns worldwide.

You can quantify it if you compare to another country with a modern healthcare system that didn't do lockdowns, like Sweden. Everyone thought Sweden would collapse and would have hundreds of thousands of deaths but they ended up in the bottom quarter for deaths per 100k for western countries.

 

They did a more focused approach at protecting the vulnerable rather than a blanket approach even after knowing who COVID kills on average.

Lockdowns are designed to prevent spread.

 

What exactly is being claimed here? That if you got covid, if you were to lockdown, somehow the effects of the virus would be reduced BY locking down?

 

Lockdowns reduce spread.

 

That isn't debunked in the slightest.

Let's not play dumb here. 

 

It's an airborne virus. Barring a full and complete lockdown where no one leaves their home for weeks with zero contact of anyone else, doing a half assed lockdown has no effect. If people are still going to work, wearing useless cloth masks, taking a vaccine that doesn't stop the spread, etc etc. It's not going to work. An airborne virus doesn't give a shit about policies and politics. It's going to do what it's going to do, and that's spread until everyone one on earth becomes infected at some point. 

 

The best option was to focus protection on the most vulnerable, vaccinate them first, limit contact and let healthy people go on with their lives. We knew very early who covid was killing.. Yet as the pandemic dragged on more and more attention was focused on children, the absolute least vulnerable. Now they've had their lives and education fucked for over 2 years. Not seeing faces, online learning, stunted development etc. We did not follow the science, we followed paranoia, fear and populists policies.

right, which is why it requires a non half-assed lockdown.

 

who exactly was proposing a half-assed lockdown?

 

No actual epidemiologist expert. Right?

The covid theatre performances sure we're amusing 

 

 

😂

are you derailing your own thread, at this point.

 

so, you're entire supposed theory about a johns hopkins report..........that's all over with?

 

i love how you states a john hopkins report, but list two links that are not john hopkins, and the first one actually quotes something else but the headline doesn't match the actual quote.
