Careful there; that could lead to a conversation about the cost/benefits of how lockdowns were implemented.
Then we'd have to look at how younger generations were sacrificed for the older.
Then we might have to talk about how that happens in many areas, from wealth distribution to climate change policy, from environmental policy to corporate accountability. Not to mention the wars.
Can't be letting that type of discussion into the zeitgeist. Wealthy people might get upset.
- not2b 4y agoThe US didn't really do lockdowns; there were restrictions, particularly for international travel and to Hawaii, but people weren't confined to their homes as they were in other countries. Even in the more restrictive states you could always go out. But in many countries restrictions were much, much tougher.

- spookthesunset 4y agoThe fact this is downvoted shows what an incredibly privileged life some people live. It’s easy to be all for lockdowns and shit when you own a home and make more than a quarter million dollars a year at your cushy work from home job. Meanwhile all the peasants expendable service workers out there had to keep on keeping on. It requires an incredible amount of privilege to buy into the Covid narrative that got sold to people.

I know there's a cohort of people that are pointing out at a certain national level field experiment as the cause of increased mortality, but there are also very valid reasons why we would see an increase in mortality now. More data will reveal to which degree each group is correct, and thankfully, we have a robust control group.
