So, did this Gestapo tactic protect us?

[progressive hunter]

There have been over 55,000 deaths in the U.S. despite the extreme isolation and lock- downs.

How many more have to die before the Trumpbot idiots recognize how devastating this virus is?

OK but what about the millions that are going to suffer and die from the results of the lockdown???

 

[Rambunctious]

And we have a President who has supported them, just yesterday calling this a "horrible plague".

Looks like a huge conspiracy to me.

It is horrible....just talk to people who have been affected by it...whether it was worth shutting down can be debated later....but at the time with what we knew and what we were learning there was no other option....

 

[Care4all]

Obviously it has not. It has however destroyed countless businesses as well as wrecked peoples lives.

lockdowns were not meant to stop the virus deaths, but to flatten the directly upward curve, so that the deaths all at once did not overwhelm our hospitals and healthcare system to the point of collapse.... Don't you remember? Flatten the curve, flatten the curve, flatten the curve..... we heard over and over again.....

the lag in deaths, or flattening the curve, bought more time to get the federal test kits up and running....of which they are STILL struggling with, and time for a vaccine and other remedies to be developed....

Tucker said this was never done before, but he is wrong.... schools, churches, theaters, stay at home, or wear masks in public etc ALL OCCURRED during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic....

Democrats need the people to suffer financial ruin and devastation just as they did in 2008. They had no hope of defeating the Trump economy or Trump otherwise.

Pelosie just closed the House off for two weeks... Nothing is now going to move... Time for most states to get moving again and stop the damage she is intentionally trying to inflict.

You must be pissed at trump and his guidelines.

No.....he did the right thing at the time...he may have saved thousands of lives and prevented untold numbers of severely ill patients....that would have taxed our hospitals.....

Correct;

With the limited information we had there was no other reasonable choice. Now that we have much more information we can open up and shelter those who need to be sheltered. Time for us to put Americans back to work but do it smartly.

Correct:

The US populace had no acquired immunity and it would have raged like a massive wildfire. We now have knowledge about the virus and who it targets. We also know how to keep them safe until we either get a vaccine or the levels of imunity get to herd status. . This is now manageable.

that's what pandemics do....

even with no lockdowns to try to save lives or postpone deaths....

do you think with people dropping like flies, the economy would be all hunky dory, if left opened? HELL NO! It was doomed, shuttering or not!

That's what you don't seem to get....

We also now have ventilators and promising courses of treatments....

Do me a favor and keep it down...
I'm working mostly from home until this is over so give me at least until June.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The idiocy is those comparing the lockdown to Gestapo tactics. To make that comparison your brain has to have become liquified.

It's not a far fetched comparison. Maybe if you took your head out of the sand.

 

[Indeependent]

Hundreds of thousands of lives were saved due to the lockdown

BULLSHIT

New York was on TOTAL LOCKDOWN while 8 other states were not. Do the math dumbass.

The needs of New York are NOT the needs of the rest of the nation. You idiots and your one size fits all responses are mind numbingly stupid AND DANGEROUS

The idiocy is those comparing the lockdown to Gestapo tactics. To make that comparison your brain has to have become liquified.

Arresting people for being in a public park? Check
Fining business for being open? Check
Threatening to pull business licenses for not closing? Check
Scanning license plates of those in public? Check
Threatening church goers for sitting in their cars? Check
Using drones to surveil citizens? Check

And the GESTAPO list goes on and on, bootlicker

was it the gestapo in 1918 with the Spanish Flu, when businesses, and theaters, and churches, and schools were shut down, and citizens had to wear masks if in public? Was that the Gestapo?

you are a product of internet conspiracy.....

Did they have hundreds of millions of N95 masks back then?

There's no doubt that we're caught between a rock and a hard place, but opening the economy too early and having to shut it down again will be far worse - both for the economy and the fatality rate - than not opening the economy until the experts say it's O.K.

 

[berg80]

Obviously it has not.

Trumplehead cultists are now all in. They aren't just denying Big Fat Don's culpability for the extent of the spread in the US, they now claim................in contradiction to objective reality..............it was no big deal.

Here is a statement on the nitwits Carlson referred to.

ACEP-AAEM Joint Statement on Physician Misinformation
The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and the American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) jointly and emphatically condemn the recent opinions released by Dr. Daniel Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi. These reckless and untested musings do not speak for medical societies and are inconsistent with current science and epidemiology regarding COVID-19. As owners of local urgent care clinics, it appears these two individuals are releasing biased, non-peer reviewed data to advance their personal financial interests without regard for the public’s health.

COVID-19 misinformation is widespread and dangerous. Members of ACEP and AAEM are first-hand witnesses to the human toll that COVID-19 is taking on our communities. ACEP and AAEM strongly advise against using any statements of Drs. Erickson and Massihi as a basis for policy and decision making.

Exactly how many people have been sent to prison, concentration camps or executed for violating the lockdown?

None? Oh, I understand...you're an idiot!

no ones saying to open it all at once,,,

and starvation is a hell of a way to die,,,

Don't worry Trumpbots!

If the economy gets really really bad, we can always socialize everything!
