A clinical professor at the University of Alberta in Canada has changed his mind on lockdowns.

COVID-19: Rethinking the Lockdown Groupthink

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) worldwide pandemic in 2020. In response, most countries in the world implemented lockdowns, restricting their population’s movements, work, education, gatherings, and general...

Surely the same rationale should be applied to every flu season. If even one life is saved during flu season by instituting a full lockdown and mandatory mask wearing then it would be worth it, yes?

Yep. Stupid. Now, if they had said "if it saves 400,000 lives. it's worth it" - then what? 400,000 times larger pile of retarded bull?

What if I told you that Trump's management of the Kung Flu so far has saved 330,600,000 lives?

Thank you. I do.
But it often appears that you have difficulty with comprehension.

Do you understand how I came up with that number?

The number is about the population of the entire US, so I suspect this has something to do with your concept of the Trump Messiah.

The number I gave is the total population of the United States (331 million) minus the 400,000 deaths by Covid.

In other words all of the people in the United States who have NOT died of Covid.

Your blind reliance on lockdown procedures to end transmission of Corona virus assumes that they are otherwise benign.

No evidence lockdowns do anything to stop spread of coronavirus

This study came from a California university known for it's hard core propagation of conservative beliefs and practices: Stanford. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/stanford-peer-reviewed-study-did-not-find-evidence-lockdowns-were-effective-stopping-covid
