Just playing devil's advocate because I do not know what the answer is, but there is no way to prove that if things weren't shut down it wouldn't be even worse.
The article said it has reduced numbers, but considering how Covid plays out there is a significant delay in getting the results you want. Remember NYC? Flattening the curve takes awhile, and people are going to ignore resrictions during Christmas.
I'm sorry New Mexico is going through this during the holidays.
Our state has been red. I did my weekly errands today and had to go to Walmart. Jam packed. Parking lot packed. No one paying any attention to social distancing and Walmart had gone right back to jamming up the middle of the aisles with merchandise.
Oh dear. You mean red as in Covid red zone? Walmart was so careful the first time! Even they have Precautions fatigue!
I know right? I was shocked. This spring and summer they hugely modified their stores and occupancy rates. Now you would never know.
Formula One racing has been living in a bubble for the whole season. They travel from track to track, and stay there. Guess what, multiple people have contracted covid, including the World Champion.
Lockdowns only make the misery worse, and prolong the agony. That is simple science. But we all know the leftists don't do science for all that they claim to.
I don't think it's simple science because you have far too many variables: density, economics, people's behavior in different areas, etc.
What do you think they did with polio outbreaks? Lockdowns. Same with the Spanish Flu, and it did help mitigate it some, but fatigue (and holidays) set in then as now.
They locked down the sick, not the healthy.
No, they locked down the healthy...I just read this interesting article - it's really a Dejas vous when you consider what is happening now in response to the pandemic.
Opposition to public health directives forced some cities to roll back orders too quickly.

Read the article again, they locked down, but rescinded within a few days. There were not months of lockdowns.
The lockdown varied - for example Atlanta had it for 3 weeks.
We haven't had months of lockdowns for Covid - where municipalities have instituted them it seems to be mostly about two weeks for a total lockdown:
COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns - Wikipedia
It's still economically devastating, I agree, and that happened in 1918 too.
Yes, we have. Nevada was effectively shut down for two months. Big box stores were exempted, of course. So they did gangbusters while the small shops died on the vine. Talk about "super spreader" opportunities. Small shops were put out of business, but 1000 people could be in walmart.
So much for "science"
Makes you wonder if superspreader means how they are spreading the wealth $$$ straight up to Amazon Winco and Wallmart. Its a super spreader all right.
Also have you noticed no one wears gloves?. So the stock person wipes their runny nose on their hands and sleeve then replaces the mask and touches every product they put on the shelf. Then someone else walks by and reads lables and puts it back. Then you buy it and take it home in a store full of people wearing masks like that solves something. Its a visual reminder people. Thats all
Has anyone ever noticed how many times amd how many different authority figures have been caught meeting without masks and defying orders they themselves put in place. Like holding their own personal wedding gatherings and getting their hair done or hanging out together in packs without masks.
And still their are some people who believe their is a pandemic.
So much proof has been suppressed by the powers in the media. Boatloads of it. .And still people believe a few scientists while never hearing the opposition.
All the masks are for and why they are so adament everyone wear them. (But not gloves).
Is so you have a constant visual reminder. Without such a reminder many people by now would have rejected this hypochondriac insanity after looking around them as not real.
All they want is to make money, spy on your personal conversations with their nose up your ass crack, and line you up for your personal vaccines afterwards.
And yet still there are people walking around who believe this bull. They are affixed to their tv.
People. With the suppresion on the internet You have to be heard in public or no one will hear you.
After everyone has spent their money on Amazon this month for Christmas and they are broke. They will ramp this crap back up in January and start lockdowns.
You are being lied to. Masks and vaccines will not make this go away in 100 days.
The only thing that will.make it go away is mandatory vaccine laws and many people losing their jobs and homes due to lack of money to pay the banker
