- logicchains 6y ago>Unfortunately, there’s little overlap between preventions or treatments for drug addiction and infectious disease. The point is that "treating" a pandemic with lockdowns causes increased depression and drug addiction.
- qqqwerty 6y agoCorrelation does not equal causation. Maybe the $1400 stimulus checks were the problem, giving addicts a windfall that they then used on drugs. Or maybe it was triggered by peoples relatives passing away from COVID, all alone in the hospital, that caused an uptick in depression and suicide. You are making a fairly strong claim that the lockdowns (which were barely even enforced) were the cause. Generally, strong claims should be backed up with some evidence.
