People dying is not a political belief
- MeinBlutIstBlau 6y agoShutting down the economy won't make your belief any more right though either.
- almost_usual 6y agoIt’s not a lockdown it’s a mask mandate?
- throwawayyy1986 6y agoThe issue for you is that if the outcomes of a couple states like California and Florida are even in the same neighborhood for comparison in spite of supposedly vastly different policies - it means that your catastrophizing and support for violations of enshrined civil liberties are not justified. It means that you have a flawed grasp of whats going on. If Texas drops the "crucial" regulations on public life and numbers trend downwards, there's something wrong in your analysis.
- almost_usual 6y agoIf they don’t and the variants sky rocket then? This isn’t a hard lockdown, it’s a mask mandate? What’s the big issue?
- throwawayyy1986 6y ago> If they don’t and the variants sky rocket then? You'd say the same thing regardless of outcome, which is why I'm saying there's an asymmetry where the other side will never admit their hubris or even possibility of fallibility. There's a certain commitment to doom, as though they can't imagine a world where things just fizzle out - as we'd expect due to seasonality and rising immunity - and society moves on.
