> Lockdowns work. End of story
This is not true. Hard lockdown that people follow seems to work. But lowdown only doesn't work.
1. Not all lockdown are equal, look at Germany how long they have a been in a soft lockdown so that death can decrease? like 2 months? Not sure at this point this is due to lockdown
2. If people don't follow the order it doesn't work, Peru one of the toughest and longest lockdown but yet also the highest mortality in the world
- res0nat0r 6y agoI'm pretty sure OP is implying that lockdowns which are properly enforced do work, obviously. A lockdown is anything but if people can just move about and ignore the rules defeating the whole purpose of a lockdown.
- threeseed 6y agoAll throughout Australia lockdowns worked because they were enforced. Large fines, arrests publicised on television and a strong police presence across the cities ensured that people weren't given the choice about to whether to comply or not. Now does it introduce questions about whether people's civil liberties were infringed ? Absolutely. But it works.

- cudgy 6y agoEnd of what story? Most people cannot make money while locked down. Who pays their bills? Are they expected to burn through all savings to become destitute enough to qualify for aid? Are landlords and mortgage holders supposed to deal without any revenue? Is caging up your citizens to avoid a disease that has a miniscule chance of death (for all but its oldest citizens) really necessary? Is it ok to saddle future generations with government debt to pay for these lockdowns? There are many “stories” to tell here.
