Lock downs can never work, can not end an epidemic, and kill more by making it last longer

[Rigby5]

ONLY herd immunity has ever ended any entrenched epidemic.
Lock downs can not, have not, and ever will end any epidemic.
By stretching the time of any epidemic, locks downs always result in larger numbers of deaths.

Here are the experts.
Listen to them.

Even the WHO has now changed their stance on lockdowns..

The popular cure has become worse than the disease it was meant to slow...

 

[Rigby5]

The problem with lock downs is they just "flatten the curve", and the reality is that when you do that it just increases the area under the curve, which are deaths.
The best solutions to epidemics are the ones that are quickest.
Time if of the essence.

 

[Thunk]

The lock downs were only meant to last a month or 2.

There were 2 goals.
- Don't overwhelm the hospitals (flatten the curve)
- Buy time so we could invent some tools against the virus

Trump has been SCREAMING to open things up again!

Democrats are keeping things closed!

So OP is correct. A lock down does not stop the spread of a virus...it only slows its spread.

Did these so-called scientist comment on the Salk Vaccine for Polio....or was the herd mentality....

That is why humans have quarantined infected people and keep them isolated.

The more I hear about lockdowns, the more it looks like a Democrat plan to take away the economy issue from Trump in this election year.

Lockdowns can work, however they only have a real chance if the disease is so virulent that there are minimal asymptomatic or mild symptom cases.

You would have to add in a real serious mortality rate, i.e. 5%-10% to really force people to isolate, and the disease needs to be only contagious when a person is truly symptomatic.

In that scenario a lockdown and isolation of anyone in contact with known cases is the only way to stop a true decimation of the population.

As a means of giving time for gathering data, prepare facilities, etc., a lock down for a short time could make sense.
But clearly the 90% asymptomatic finding of those infected, shows the virus is only 1 tenth as lethal as we thought, and also over half the population is already inherently immune.
Knowing that now, then herd immunity should be accelerated as quickly as possible.
We can't wait for a vaccine, and waiting only kills another 30,000 a month;
Herd immunity also requires a spike of like 50,000, but then it will be over, with no more deaths, until there is a whole new generation.

Now the WHO (+6,000 scientists) say lockdowns are GHASTLY CATASTROPHE and must END. They right wing nuts, too, CNN?

“We really do have to learn how to coexist with this virus in a way that doesn’t require constant closing down of economies.” That sound like something Trump said? It isn’t.…

The last polio epidemic was in 1948, and the Salk vaccine for polio did not come out until 1957, so there was never a polio epidemic stopped by any vaccine. It was only herd immunity. The vaccine only prevented future epidemics. But even then, vaccines only help facilitate herd immunity really.

Coronavirus Cases: 7,991,998
Deaths: 219,695

How many has the lockdown killed?

Now that the supreme court is stacked with Republicans and constitutional conservatives Democrats are screwed lol

Nothing wrong with quarantines.
Quarantines work because they are quick.
Lock down do not work because unlike quarantines, they only slow things down, so the epidemic lasts longer and kills more people.
With epidemics, speed is off the essence.

YES!
The point is the Salk vaccine did not come out until the polio epidemic was over.

You don't know enough to even post about Polio much less opine about it's disappearance. Herd immunity was achieved by the vaccine, not people contracting it and developing immunity to it.


You're a dumb as fuck.
