Where I come from, “good ideas doomed to fail” are called “bad ideas”
- b112 3y agoI recall clearly, at the time, the first two weeks of lockdown. No one, anywhere, had a clue wtf was going on, except that some new virus was spreading like wildfire, that it spread before symptoms appeared, and it seemed like Italy had a crazy high death rate. Blaming people with the knowledge of hindsight is just plain wrong. Later lockdowns? Now that's a different conversation.
- charrondev 3y agoQuebecs lockdowns continued for 2 years and were far more draconian than the rest of North America. As far as I understand this was mostly a factor of our public hospital systems being absolutely over capacity and the government doing whatever it could to keep up. Needless to say I’ve since moved away to a region with a more functional health care system and that allows families to gather together as desired.
- autoexec 3y agoYeah, before we had any idea what we were dealing with anything but a lockdown would have been madness.
- noirbot 3y agoYea, by october when the "maybe we shouldn't do a lockdown any more" talk was 6+ months in, it feels like it's clearly in the "there's a case to be made" zone.
