It's amazing how almost universally visceral, impulsive responses such as this fail to provide references to such data.
- thu2111 6y agoJeez, give me a break. I'm not "visceral" or "impulsive", that's just insulting. Scroll through my comment history. I've been posting links to facts on this for months. And they're publicly available and widely covered in some forums. Try these sites for a flavour: http://inproportion2.talkigy.com/ http://inproportion2.talkigy.com/ https://swprs.org/a-swiss-doctor-on-covid-19/ https://swprs.org/a-swiss-doctor-on-covid-19/ https://hectordrummond.com/2020/06/29/this-is-what-we-shot-ourselves-in-the-foot-for/ https://hectordrummond.com/2020/06/29/this-is-what-we-shot-o... These links have a UK/Europe focus but the story is the same everywhere. Re: lockdown does nothing. Take a look at the analyses by the major investment banks. They're all reaching the same conclusions because the data is public and anyone can analyse them. No correlation between lockdown severity and course of disease.
- whatl3y 6y agoThanks for providing some references, if nothing else it shows a little effort to validate your points. And I wasn't claiming you yourself are visceral or impulsive, simply your referenceless/dataless claim-making comment appeared that way. Apologies for the misunderstanding, I just get frustrated at the ever-increasing amount of (usually) politically motivated counterpoints made on anything today without the slightest piece of data to support such claims.
