That is if you don't like seeing people die and would like the coronavirus to go away. This approach would also have the added benefit of ridding us of the flu, common cold and who knows how many other contagious diseases. For this idea to work we would have to get the other nations on board. Tell people that they have two months from whatever date to prepare for another lock down. A REAL one this time. Like a REAL quarantine. The next lock down would last for three weeks. In two months time there should be no problem in getting enough supplies to last for three weeks. It wouldn't or shouldn't empty out store shelves like happens in places where people find out a hurricane will soon be arriving. And stores would be able to prepare too. Not having food rotting on their shelves. Some crops may rot in the fields. But some things can't be avoided.
Then when the time arrives for the next lock down, shut down EVERYTHING! Except for places like hospitals or electric generating plants. Also, stop ALL travel between cities. Except for people who work at the places I mentioned or other necessary personnel. Sure. It would suck. But after three weeks, you could kiss having to wear a mask good by. You could kiss the idea of getting a flu or coronavirus vaccine good by. And restaurants could pack in customers like sardines. And any economic woes after that could no longer be blamed on the coronavirus. But if you don't want any of this to happen, just vote for Trump. We will then see how many more hundreds of thousands will die.
1. I have posited that, as Trump's greatest asset in the campaign has been his miraculous economy, after Hussein 'masterminded' the slowest recovery in history, and the answer to this by the party of evil is to organize a nationwide shutdown of the economy through lock-downs, riots, and closing schools to keep parents from going back to work.
2. Time will tell if it worked. But, when viewing all options for the Democrats, fighting for political victories happens ever few years; the lives lost by their machinations can never be recouped.
3. “Lockdowns are typically portrayed as prudent precautions against Covid-19, but they are surely the most risky experiment ever conducted on the public. From the start, researchers have warned that lockdowns could prove far deadlier than the coronavirus. People who lose their jobs or businesses are more prone to fatal drug overdoses and suicide, and evidence already exists that many more will die from cancer, heart disease, pneumonia, and tuberculosis and other diseases because the lockdown prevented their ailments from being diagnosed early and treated properly. Yet politicians and public-health officials conducting this unprecedented experiment have paid little attention to these risks.
…since that danger passed, the lockdown enforcers have found one reason after another to persevere with closures, bans, quarantines, curfews, and other mandates. Anthony Fauci, the White House advisor, recently said that even if a vaccine arrives soon, he does not expect a return to normality before late next year.”

4. How many American lives is a political victory worth?
While this Democrat attempt to destroy the economy may work, the results in deaths of Americans is unacceptable.
Now.....how important was it to lock-down the nation?
5. “… a group of leading researchers this week called for an end to the experiment. In a joint statement, the Great Barrington Declaration, they predicted that continued lockdowns will lead to “excess mortality in years to come” and warned of “irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.”
6. "While the economic and social costs have been enormous, it’s not clear that the lockdowns have brought significant health benefits beyond what was achieved by people’s voluntary social distancing and other actions. Some researchers have credited lockdowns with slowing the pandemic, but they’ve relied on mathematical models with assumptions about people’s behavior and the virus’s tendency to spread—the kinds of models and assumptions that previously produced wild overestimates of how many people would die during the pandemic. Other researchers have sought more direct evidence, looking at mortality patterns. They have detected little impact. ”

Wait......the lock-down of the economy has no detectible impact on the epidemic????????
It's simply one more scam by the Democrats, on-going since 2016.
What a bunch of bullshit. So much that it's hard to know where to start. But I won't start at all with what you said and finish it that way. I will just state facts. There have been many lock downs. There will be more. The best the best thing to do is to do it right, just once. Then it will be all over. No more economic worries from coronavirus. Children back to school. No need for masks. No need for a coronavirus or even a flu vaccine. No more overcrowded ICU units in hospitals. No more beleaguered, heroic health care workers risking their lives each day.
Also, so far over 200,000 people have died from the coronavirus. Which is nearly 10 times more deadly than the flu. So far, around 8 million people here have been infected. As I said, resulting in the deaths of over 200,000 people. But there are 311 million more people in the U.S. That 8 million goes into 311 million 38.87 times. 200,000 times 38.87 is 7,774,000. Is such a death toll high enough for you? Do you not think that such a death toll would result in FAR more economic misery than the quarantine I recommended? The toll on our economy so far has no doubt already surpassed that.
You couldn't be more wrong if your intention was to be more wrong. Nothing in your post is true.
But, first.....
Somehow, the truth seems to make the indoctrinated default to juvenile vulgarity.
Re-post sans the language you picked up in the 3rd grade boys bathroom, and I'll give you the education you so sorely require.
