Specifically the "million people damaged or dead from the lockdown" part.

Over 40,000,000 in the states have become unemployed but u guys seem to ignore it. So i expect the same here, ignore it or make excuses

If you're so concerned about this, go offer assistance to those in need instead of trolling an atheist forum. Put your money where your mouth is and do something about it. What good do you think you are doing here with your trolling? BTW, what "states" do you think "we" occupy? This forum has an international footprint. #Brokentool

How many of those people working would it take to pay for a wrongful death? You'll be paying for that, too, dow warrior.

Well, at least you gave a citation for the "million people damaged or dead from lockdown" part, although counting unemployment as "damaged or dead" is a bit of a stretch. But for what it's worth, I'll just ask: do you really think the outcome would have been much better if you actually just decided to damn the consequences? Frankly, I highly doubt there was ever any chance of an outcome that didn't involve a massive economic downturn. America's had a fairly laissez-faire attitude about the whole ordeal (mostly on a federal level), and how did that end up for us? More cases and more deaths than any other country, a bit less than a third of the total of both worldwide. And it's not like America's been given a more virulent strain of the virus; it's the same one around the world, and though the curve's currently pretty flat in Australia, that can change if reopening is done poorly. There is no reason to believe it won't come back. Even before a second wave, several of America's states have reopened and many of them have actually seen another spike in cases.

Some thoughts 

1. A million dead or damaged is a bit more than a stretch i think 

2. This seems to argue more for underlining problems in Australia's mental health services then the lockdown  

3. It of course also begs the question how much worst would it have been without the lockdown. As it assumes these issues wouldn't have cropped up anyway. A low death count could just as easily argue for the success of the lockdown.

4. One more interesting note . If the lockdown is the cause of suicides why didn't countries experience a drop on no significant increase in suicides despite being lockdown and why countries who didn't lockdown still saw spike in suicides ? Again this seems a bigger issue than merely the lockdown . It was a fault of a countries mental health system .

Of course he will dismiss this as "excuses " .But that really doesn't matter .

Simple.

His claims are bullshit.

Agreed

Seriously - go to Agnot's greatgameindia 'source' and click on COVID19. The number of bullshit and contradictory claims are dizzying.

This is where he gets his 'information'. After a quick look around you will have no doubt that nothing he posts here is worth the eyestrain.

Until January, GreatGameIndia.com—an Indian website that bills itself as a “Journal on Geopolitics and International Relations”—was a microscopic blip on the internet, reaching just 30,000 to 50,000 visitors a month. It published numerous conspiracy theories about anything from Indian politics to the 2014 crash of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 in Ukraine.

As I mentioned before, America has had a fairly Laissez-fairy attitude towards potential lockdowns (the states, for the most part, are a different story) and look what’s happened: of all the known cases and deaths, a bit less than a third have been in America. 

And, of course, there’s been estimates of what would likely happen if COVID was allowed to just spread through Australia. I posted This one a While ago. The results would not be pretty, unless, of course, you think people needlessly dying because more people are going into the medical system than they can handle is your idea of pretty.
