Lockdown logic?? (Page 2): If putting on the brakes while approaching a busy intersection worked once why bother when approaching a second busy intersection? Your point defies logic.

Huh. I was here and locked down. The roads were empty. The stores, restaurants, etc. were closed. Children's playgrounds were closed. Perception is an interesting thing.

We were locked down.
One son lost his job.
The other got furloughed from his for five months.
Nothing was opened here but the grocery store and it's shelves were empty.
I understand people have started hoarding again and our shelves are empty again.

Your "analogy" is like comparing apples and oranges. Breaking at an intersection is a law that if not obeyed could kill the driver of the car and/or other drivers/pedestrians. What does that have to do with the break-down of an economy and unemployment??

If the first lockdown worked, people would not be getting sick and C-19 would have been contained and would not be a pandemic any more. Why would we need another lockdown?

If the first lockdown did not work, people are still getting sick and C-19 did not become contained. Why would a second lockdown work?

Lockdowns don’t work. Anybody who believes they do is a delusional fool. What they do is kick the can down the road while taking a away people’s liberty and running the economy against the wall. The toll they have taken on human life and human rights has been incalculable. Increases in child abuse, suicide, and even heart attacks, are a result of mandatory stay-at-home orders issued by politicians who now rule by decree without any legislative or democratic due process. Small businesses have permanently closed by the thousands. Those poor owners are still responsible for the mortgages, rental contracts and taxes on their store properties - with no income! How do they DO that? As a result of lockdowns, tens of thousands of jobs have been lost....not temporarily lost - lost for good.

Lockdowns are not working now, and have never worked before - why should there be another one?

Huh. Seems that I read they only locked down targeted, affected areas. Thought you said so several months back.

Late January to late March was a full lockdown... April to May was a semi lockdown... After that they only locked down targeted areas...

Understand... One case could lead to millions being locked down and an entire province being considered off limits...

Biden hasn't mentioned any lock down but if Americans can't start taking this seriously we will get to a point we have to.
