Hmm yeah my bad. What a mess one person can make. The format is a headache too, hard to tell where one posr starts and another begins

Re: Views on lockdowns, increasing authoritarianism and collectivism
My daughter just got back from spring break. She stayed in a condo. While waiting for the elevator on the second day, a woman living there asked “you aren’t from here, are you?” My daughter said no, then asked why. The woman responded, because you are wearing a mask.
She said no one outside or inside that building was wearing masks. Bars were open and full. She said occasionally, you would see someone with a mask. But not often

Re: Views on lockdowns, increasing authoritarianism and collectivism
Not to mention lockdowns and business closures kill people. 37k per 1% uptick in unemployment.
This was so poorly managed, so many people demanded and accepted the full on authoritarian approach. I understand there is a large group of the population who will accept this stuff but so many more need to be holding governments accountable.
After all we know now, how are nations like the Philippines extending lockdowns and border closures?

Re: Views on lockdowns, increasing authoritarianism and collectivism
Australia has no virus in all the states, except Queensland. Queensland are currently in a 3 day lockdown to identify ALL carriers (10 so far) and isolate them. This will be the eighth recent short term lockdown in an Australian State. Each time it was to eliminate the virus. Once this outbreak is contained, the virus will be eliminated in Australia again.
Previously the virus rate got to 700/day in Melbourne and they did a few month lockdown to get it to 0.
75,000 people attend football games, grandparents visit grandkids, life is almost back to pre-covid.
Sweden tried isolating the at risk population and it didn’t work, as asymptomatic people spread the virus to the vulnerable.

Re: Views on lockdowns, increasing authoritarianism and collectivism
Not all Lockdowns are the same. Many allow most people to go about as normal. Some are more restrictive and have very few people still going about normally.
To put all lockdowns into the 1 category is basically saying all WR are the same.... as Ravens fans, we know they aren’t.
