I wonder if it was always like this, where people were only willing to hear their own side of any argument. Some things get "decided", and then are no longer open for debate. Smacks of theism or monarchism in a way.
- collyw 6y agoSadly it seems so. I was arguing in favour of lock-down in the beginning, when a lot less was know about the virus, and it appeared to be more deadly than it actually is. I thought Sweden was stupid for not locking down, but to my surprise their case numbers didn't spiral out of control. Their hospitals managed fine. At that point I reevaluated my position, but it seems I am one of the few who did. I new see the that lockdown skeptics seem a lot more data driven in their approach than pro-lockdown people, who seem to base things on assumptions and politics.
- darkerside 6y agoI find there to be people on both sides who exhibit a failure to think critically. IMO, lockdown should not be a binary thing. Since things should be open. Others should probably remain closed while the infection rages. Masks, on the other hand, should be ubiquitous.
