Reasons to End the Lockdowns as Soon as Possible
- sarcasmatwork 7y ago>We have already flattened the curve Yes, in some states.. Not all. This is a very ignorant way to look at this. You dont know what will happen in two weeks because more people may have gotten sick. Look at people getting together during Easter, push that out 2 weeks. Will more be sick and infected? No one knows. Not even you Doc. Look at the state testing: http://www.covidstatetesting.com http://www.covidstatetesting.com
- mataug 7y agoI wish this post had included more context. The way its currently written it directly supports ending the shutdown without any contingency plans in place. Merely putting the following disclaimer does not absolve the author of irresponsible writing. "This post does not deny the effectiveness of social distancing or quarantine for COVID-19. I am not encouraging people to suspend these practices before official determinations have been made public. This post is to help physicians, thought leaders and public officials understand and weigh the risks and benefits of extended lock-downs versus more measured and earlier return to work measures." Words and writing are important tools for spreading information and misinformation, so without context such as "Lifting lock-downs without adequate testing and hospital capacity would lead to a lot more pain, suffering and death" this is just misinformation
