The reaction to the Rona virus is a reminder that the public is extremely bad at science, overly trusting of authority and easily stampeded.


Let's be fair-- even to the Dems.

This was an unprecedented event.

We will not know for some time whether the lockdowns helped or did more harm.

Of course, we all know that they did extreme harm to our mental health and to the economy.

But we should remember that Europe also felt that lockdowns were necessary.

As the saying goes: The lessons that are eventually learned from THIS pandemic may help the government when it responds to the NEXT pandemic.

*****

This year, it appears, the question will be: What to do with people who decline to take the vaccine? I hope that the government and private enterprises will resist the temptation to impose draconian measures.
 
Odd. Quarantine is the only thing that has worked historically to reduce the spread of disease. It’s in the Bible. It is historical fact. The spread of disease is predictable and you can reduce it. But now this historically proven technique is bad science.

idiots.
Yes, people that are sick or exposed.....not the entire State. I don't recall anywhere in the Bible where the entire Roman Empire was in lock down

Fauci is not 'biblical'. We were told to trust the science.

How is it that little old me was 100% correct a year ago on what would occur?

Because you are a very thoughtful person.

A quarantine means you isolate the sick. Comprehension 101.

Without lockdowns we would probably have a death toll of several million and that's pretty hard on people too.

Well then Trump and all those Governors from Republican to Democrat made the mistake along with many Governments around the world...

Government mandated lockdowns are not quarantines per se.
Quarantines are medically mandated. Lockdowns are politically mandated.

Keeping people from surfing, shutting down businesses or attending church services (that are already following covid protocols) is pure politics in action.

Idiot.

Yeah, I remember it was always Liberals who used to wear that "Question Authority" bumper sticker on the back of their Volvos with pride. But once they became the authority that all came to an end. I joked a while back that they should scrape them all off now with a razor blade.
With them now the mere simple act of questioning any one of their policies is heresy punishable by banishment from society.

/---/ Yeah, but democRATs had to get Orange Man out of office. So they had no choice but to crash the economy.

Right? quarantine the sick? isolate and protect the most vulnerable? who would have thought?
It's more scientific now to isolate and screw up young school kids lives who have almost zero chance of contracting and spreading the disease.. as proven by science.
Liberals are represented by a Donkey for good reason.
