Are lockdowns justified?

RE: Are lockdowns justified?
Yes, the evidence that you just presented, should not be ignored.  


You're right, it's important not to overreact.  It's a good thing we didn't overreact to this, as it's only killed half a million of us even after we had good data about how deadly and contagious it was.  Covid continues it's work today, in fact, and I'm sure you'll look back in future satisfied that you were on the right side here, covids side, in it's tireless apolitical crusade against the scourge of humanity...or, at least, americans.

Rest of the world is lucky we didn't panic and press the button for good measure - if you ask me. That seems on brand for our flirtation with utter lunacy as we came into 2020.
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!

I mean theres a way to figure out if coming out lockdown is a good idea, look at the countries that are not observing social distancing and their recorded infection rates.
Do you like what you see? The answers no, because what you see is India and oh my goodness if that isn't one of the most vertical slopes I have ever seen. They've barely tested a *fraction* of their population yet and we're already at 15% infected of what they have. Mortality rate? 2104 yesterday but you know that figures not accurate because most people dying don't even make it to a hospital. They're all packed.
Granted they have other problems but the correlation is pretty clear. Decrease in lockdown results in more patients and therein lies the delicate balance which determines whether you get lifted to the hospital in an ambulance or to a tent in a rented ice-cream van.

Covid shot JFK and planned 9/11. I overheard it when I was being experimented on for the MK-Ultra program to be turned into a Manchurian candidate.

That's where all good information comes from.

-and that's why some other random country should open up and force their necessary workers to die for our dow. Who the fuck is going to flip my burgers if the serfs are made to quarantine?

Quote:Seriously? From a quick Google search
Good you provided a source now my response is it's irrelevant as it's merely a condemnation of society's lack of social care not an objection to lockdowns.


Quote:Stay-at-home orders are responsible for Vitamin D deficiency, which makes COVID more severe.
This has been debunked over and over on this thread 


Quote:As I have cited multiple times by now, even CDC admits the risk of getting COVID from touching contaminated objects is very low. It was even on New York Times:
Low doesn't mean doesn't happen. Even your own acknowledge it can happen and its prevention is conditional as well as its spread 

So again you fail
