Now you know one of the reasons why it's happening. This is an effort to destroy small businesses and coalesce more power with mega-corps.

People break rules because they cant go weeks and weeks without sex, socialising etc but give them a defined short 10 day period that they can plan around in advance and Im sure 99% would get on board

Honestly don't think you can do it no matter what. There are so many industries that NEVER stop moving in the US. 80% of the country falls under "essential services". MOST people have been working this entire time.

Pandemics suck because there is no good solution. You really just have to weather it and move on.

This is the worst thread on the misc. No way there should ever be another lockdown.

This intense lockdown wasn't the reason China seemed to "get over it" quicker. They just suppressed the numbers, and it had been spreading for like 2-3 months already by the time people in the US heard about it.

Very very few work actually HAS to get done in the short term. What could not take 10 days off?

A few bank staff needed but there will be limited transactions

Some infrastructure around food etc, but scaled back massively as there would be a push to make frozen/canned goods in the weeks prior and supermarkets will not be open

Energy/Telecoms etc but with no moving parts this is minimal

Some medical response but with nobody driving, drinking outside etc its minimal

Media/TV/Radio maybe you need a couple of channels the rest can air repeats

What else is there? Any kind of retail, hospitality, insurance, retail banking, manufacturing etc can all afford a 10 day break

Im not argueing for a lockdown at all

All I'm saying is a 10 day intense lockdown > 1-3 month "soft" lockdown

Don't even give them the option of locking anything down again. They will all be burned at the stake if they even think of doing that dumb chit again.

Bro the UK is just about to enter into a 1 month lockdown but;

Schools and University stay open
You can still go to work if you can't work from home (all manufacturing, construction, lots of office workers etc)
Supermarkets stay open
You can go for walks, meet up with another household
Routine non emergency medial treatments continue

Worst of both worlds

None of the above constitutes legal advice nor should be interpreted as such.

Its not a bad idea SRS

Offer them a nice price, and leave it up to them of course. They have to be stuck in a room for 2 weeks, so get food, a bed, shower etc and get paid for it.

Everyone wins no?

Negged for advocating lockdowns.

Especially for a hoax virus that is literally just the flu.

A few things.

If it was actually deadly, I'd say sure, like bubonic plague.

Second, if it didn't leap to subsequent lockdowns, thn maybe. But this is how the first set started, then its been 7 plus months. Give the elite an inch and they take a foot.

Agree with this srs and would fully support it.

Half assed lockdowns are killing us. Brick and mortar businesses can't survive being government forced to run things at 25-50% capacity if they are open at all.

You would fully support an unnecessary authoritarian lockdown for a virus that has a greater survival rate than the flu?

A virus that may not even exist, given that the tests have high sensitivity and low specificity?

How did you get access to a computer in special ed?

Obviously still people think it was beyond the lockdowns.

'Eradicating the virus' is a ridiculous goal to have anyway.

No.

No lockdowns for a non deadly virus. If people want to self lockdown to keep safe because they are personally worried, thats fine, but the rest of us are living life.

No restrictions, no masks, no nothing, just like the flu.

So what if you need an ambulance/hospital while locked down? Now you have to keep the hospitals and dispatchers open. Those workers will need transportation to their jobs. Those vehicles will need fuel and possibly maintenance. There could be car accidents. And on and on....

I get your reasoning but it's as if you're arguing for a quick death from cancer rather than a long drawn one with AIDS.

Corona virus is just part of life man, we need to move on at this point. It's just another thing to add to the list of **** that can potentially **** up your life in some way. Way too late to pretend to give a **** about it now.

Agreed, either do it properly or don't do it at all. 10 days of strict lockdowns would be much better than one month or more of loose ineffective lockdowns that still punish you but also have no effect

“Steroids is now just a word that the lazy and ignorant use to describe any guy that has more muscle and dedication than them”– Mike O'Hearn

It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven."
