Are lockdowns justified?
RE: Are lockdowns justified?
This is a good example of something that's true, but that it's truth does not engender any conclusion for which it's assertion is leveraged. Sure, uv kills alot of things. So does washing your hands - but, obviously, the sunlight hasn't kept the plague from running through places like florida.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote: I also find it a bit puzzling that suicides have risen most sharply in children and in the military, rather than in the people who lost their jobs.

As far as the thread title goes, I'm ok with shutdowns, but not stay at home orders.

Do you suggest ingesting or injecting bleach too, Mr. Trump?

It's also wrong as you can catch COVID outdoors it's simply less common due to air circulation. Of course, that goes down if you start cramping people together over an extended period of time. And stay-at-home orders make perfect sense otherwise it's not really a lockdown.

They are both biologists, discussing the evidence. What is your problem with what they are saying exactly? Do you just disagree because Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper said so? Have you actually looked into studies showing that what I posted is incorrect? Can you back up your thoughts about this? Where is your evidence showing that covid variants appear to transmit outdoors, and where is your evidence showing that sunglight or UV light doesn't help?

Help more than it's already been helping..what with there being a sun in the sky and all?

Hmmm...it didn't go away last summer.  Maybe the sun will be more effective this year.

It's conditional. Yes, Covid spreads far less outdoors because open spaces mean it's harder for droplets carrying the virus to reach a target, And yes direct sunlight can render the virus dormant. However...

1. Long term exposure to an infected person can still spread the virus 

2. Touching infected objects can still spread it.

3. Inactive doesn't mean dead.

So relying on this is dodgy at best.

If you believe that bullshit you are literally too dumb to live.

Do us a favour and tell whoever you're getting to type your rubbish onto these fora to stop doing it.

Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein are man and wife. I guess you didn't know that. Why are they self isolating such that they have to post videos together? Maybe because they don't believe their own crap.
