If people were locked down, how were they getting infected? The simple answer would be that they weren't actually following lockdown orders. That's the nice thing about the lockdown; if you actually do it it's impossible for it to fail. It's 100% effective.
Somehow, the fact that people did not observe the lockdown is being used as a cudgel and a justification for states that did not. We have no way of knowing if it would have been better in California without a lockdown, do we? Because California is not Florida or any other state in the Union. Their situation is unique.

Imagine my surprise.

- DangitBobby 6y agoWell, at least with socialism you can argue that it's not actually possible to do it right. You could argue that here too but it would be provably false instead of just obviously so.
