Trust the science, because science always says 1 thing and there is never conflicting science or conflicting scientific conclusions, especially with a virus thats not even a year old that we still barely understand. We do however understand the rate of death relative to the rate of infection and its miniscule and not even remotely close to what was initially projected, yet we are now imposing even more restrictions on people's lives. Sweden didn't lock down at all btw, and there are still swedes. And their economy isn't in the dogshit zone.
We will finally be safe, once we rid ourselves of the incredibly non-lethal virus that is so non-lethal you often can't tell that you even have it. Sacrifices must be made in the meantime, sorry [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Oh and even the WHO is saying more lockdowns are a bad idea and didn't do much to prevent it spreading. Why don't you just following the science, huh mister?? |
It's like talking to a wall... All answered.
There's no conflicting science. The vast majority specialists are in agreement. One or two outliers is not a lack of consensus.
And it's not just about how deadly a virus is. It's the cumulative profile of the virus and its potential impact on our healthcare system. Look at what happened in New York -- lethality went up dramatically once the system got overwhelmed and went back down once they got through that wave.
And the economic angle is a straw man. There is huge range between lock it down forever and YOLO. The man who blows his brains out because he loses his house, his savings, or his livelihood over economic impacts from the COVID restrictions is every bit as much a COVID death as the 97 year man with stage 4 lung cancer who contracts COVID and dies.
I deal with this on a daily basis. As we're about to have tenants shut down their restaurants, bars, fitness studios, etc for a second (or third) time, I can't help but wonder if we'd be in this mess if people would just listen to normal scientists, wear a fucking mask, wash their hands, and keep their distance when they can... It's not a big ask.
