After two years of heavy handed lockdowns failing abysmally in all but a few places, one would think a person would stop making such nonsense claims as yours, but apparently not. The obsession with case numbers has at this point become a case of Goodheart's Law run rampant globally, in which case even eventually relatively low hospitalization or mortality rates stop mattering to some people. The fixation is instead on stopping cases, regardless of the trade-off or harm in the means used.
- drekk 5y agoThere has not been a single heavy handed lockdown in the US. Ordering takeout from DoorDash with a frozen margarita is not a lockdown. You'd think the country that can "never forget" 9/11 wouldn't be so cool about a million dead Americans, but then again the US as a society allows 1 in 5 children to remain insecure.
