The lockdowns was an attempt to crash the economy to blame it on Trump. Only a retard liberal would blame Trump for the Covid crash. Thankfully, it went back up to normal and liberals have no one to blame now.

Bastards closed down and killed so many small businesses. No more soup plantation/sweet tomatoes.
It pissed off enough people to realize that democrat don't consider their jobs essential. It only energizes the welfare base to want to ban evictions and hide in their basements to collect money from fellow taxpayers.

This. Governors are literally exercising monarchial type powers with absolutely no involvement of state legislatures.

If Biden wins, they will be lifted immediately. Democrats will "reanalyze" the statistics and determine it is safe to open up.


If Trump wins, democrats will try to make it last until 2024.

In other words, democrats are corrupt.

Gotta destroy Trumps economy, teach the people that the "new normal" means they have no rights, are fully dependent on the gov, forces them to wear a piece of thin cloth on their face, or they mght die if theyre stupid enough to believe that, because the government cares about their health, meanwhile they put covid patients in nursing homes and people are suiciding overdosing divorcing rioting cant exercise etc etc.

A few months ago anti-anxiety prescriptions were up almost 40% and there was a shortage on the medicine. i.e. people who really needed the medicine bad could not get it. All of this in the name of health! What a joke.

The lockdown was only needed so hospitals could catch up. That was a very short term need though and any lockdowns after like early April are doing way more harm than good.

Even the initial lockdown likely wasn't needed. Just tell the "at risk" people to stay the fk home until the hospitals are prepared.

People who were at risk already were at home 24/7. It's typically people who are obese, 90+ years old or unhealthy as ****.

No one who liked going outside by any means. I remember some old dude who went outside to get sunshine and described it as a pleasure. Most normal people just treat the sun as an unavoidable evil that burns your skin if you don't wear sunscreen.

Fear has been the major driver through this whole thing. Politicians all over the world are a confluence of negative traits - they are ruled by narcissism, greed, fear and short-sightedness.

Some of the more vocal epidemiologists have never gotten over the initial China numbers, and still hold them to be truthful.

To understand how useless the government is at mandating anything imagine if they were to mandate exercise/nutrition guidelines to “cure” the obesity problem in 30 days. We would all be doing band exercises on a bosu ball while eating 300g carbs and 25g protein. The people who come up with these guidelines are “scientists” too but nobody takes them seriously for good reason.

Too save people in the 85-90 age range (who the flu would probably hospitlize them as well) because they saw poverty Italian and Spanish hospitals on the news being overwhelmed.

None of which we saw here because America has top tier hospitals. And now they have been laying off nurses due to the shutdown..

And then it became a way to destroy the economy for the election.

to slow down the spread and not overwhelm hospitals
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly.

Things still arent open 100%, we are STILL in the first lockdown.

The point is to flatten the middle class (service industry) to get them to beg for handouts (socialism)

Back to working from home, this is getting old. I wonder how they're gonna look back at the mortality rate and death toll and try justifying these insane measures, I sense a lot of angry people around the world.

The thing is, they were dealing with the unknown. Easy to look back and be the arm chair QB right?
Some hospitals were definitely being pressured. Im not getting sources from the news, I was asking direct family members that are doctors and work in hospitals.
