This global shortage is caused by lockdown. Its clear that lockdown created massive problem. Way more than the virus itself. We need to make sure that lockdowns don't happen again in the future.
- detcader 6y ago> This global shortage is caused by lockdown. That's a worrying prospect. Do you have a source linking the two?
- Clewza313 6y agoNot so much lockdown, as mobility issues. For example, many labor-dependent industries like fruit picking and construction normally depend on migrants or seasonal labor from overseas, and are having a very hard time coping without it.
- matz1 6y agoIts in the article itself. "As the pandemic spread out from its Asian epicentre, countries implemented lockdowns, halting economic movements and production. Many factories closed temporarily, causing large numbers of containers to be stopped at ports"
- throwaway53453 6y agoI agree. Social distancing + vaccination is pretty much the only effective strategy so far. Lockdowns do enforce that, but they also create vast damage beyond what's needed.
- rswail 6y agoLockdowns are the only solution for stopping the spread of an infectious virus or bacteria. How you implement the lockdown and how long for depends on the infection rates and treatment requirements. If everyone masked/maintained hygiene/social distanced, then lockdowns can be lessened, but the best way to stop infections is to stop providing the environment were infections can occur. Unless there are both effective and scalable treatment options, then some form of isolation is the only alternative.
- matz1 6y agoNo, lockdown create damage way more than the virus itself.
- mamon 6y agoLockdowns simply don't work. How do I know? Because Sweden, which for a long time refused to introduce any COVID restrictions at all, has less deaths per 1M people (1317) than France (1425), which introduced full lockdown. Also, Texas recently lifted all the restrictions couple weeks ago, and number of cases and deaths is still falling. I'm sure there are more examples like that.
- Jyaif 6y agoAccording to your data, lockdown even increases the number of deaths! The truth is that while this data is interesting, it's not enough to tell us how effective lockdowns are.
- theodric 6y agoWell let's just let everyone get sick. Mass death is known to be great for economies also, right? I feel like your statement is essentially "no disease and no lockdown is preferable to disease and lockdown"
- matz1 6y agoFor vast majority of people, covid is non issue. Most people will either have no symptoms or only have mild symptoms. So no, not everyone will get sick from covid. Of course, like any other disease there will be some death, particularly for old people and people with underlying condition but nothing that could cause problem as greater than mass lockdown. My statement is essentially, some disease is preferable than mass lockdown. Wanting to eradicate disease is good and I support it but not with something that caused massive problem that is worse than the disease.
- junippor 6y agoLooking at your comment history, it seems that most of your comments lately are about the lockdown being bad. You might have been radicalized... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radicalized https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radicalized
- matz1 6y agoI've always againts lockdown, because it is bad.. It doesn't make sense to have solution that worse than the problem.
