Was government correct in closing down many activities during COVID.

It depends if your focus is lives or money

Research suggests that the adoption of lockdowns in the initial COVID surge helped contain transmission and deaths, albeit at high economic and social costs.

I support saving lives. Lives do not come back, the economy does.

Bullshit.

Shelter in place orders are useless. You quarantine the ill, not the healthy.

3 Studies That Show Lockdowns Are Ineffective at Slowing COVID-19​

The collateral damage of lockdowns is well documented. Their benefits, however, remain murky.​

3 Studies That Show Lockdowns Are Ineffective at Slowing COVID-19

Across America and Europe, government officials are resuming lockdowns in the face of rising COVID-19 cases. Several studies, however, show there is little correlation between government restrictions and lower COVID mortality rates. Here are three of them.

No, it was the wrong decision. Never before in the history of the world have the healthy been quarantined until 2020....over a virus that had a 99.7 percent survival rate.

Research conducted by those who are in line with the lockdown crowd. You believe it ? Seriously ?

Here we see more stupidity. We had an airborne virus nobody could see. Therefore a lockdown was necessary in order to reduce the numbers of deaths. Now if we had a functioning president, we could have created enough masks and ventilators to perhaps have opened up earlier with te ability to mitigate. But even masks were resisted by the idiots such as you.

So you talk bad about quarantining, yet if there had been no lockdown, the economy would have been stopped by the large number of people who would have gotten ill.

You quarantine the vulnerable. That was one group specifically. It could have been done so much better.

You quarantine the vulnerable. That was one group specifically. It could have been done so much better.

". . . The first English quarantine regulations, drawn up in 1663, provided for the confinement (in the Thames estuary) of ships with suspected plague-infected passengers or crew. In 1683 in Marseille, new laws required that all persons suspected of having plague be quarantined and disinfected. In ports in North America, quarantine was introduced during the same decade that attempts were being made to control yellow fever, which first appeared in New York and Boston in 1688 and 1691, respectively (18). In some colonies, the fear of smallpox outbreaks, which coincided with the arrival of ships, induced health authorities to order mandatory home isolation of persons with smallpox (19), even though another controversial strategy, inoculation, was being used to protect against the disease. In the United States, quarantine legislation, which until 1796 was the responsibility of states, was implemented in port cities threatened by yellow fever from the West Indies (18). In 1720, quarantine measures were prescribed during an epidemic of plague that broke out in Marseille and ravaged the Mediterranean seaboard of France and caused great apprehension in England. In England, the Quarantine Act of 1710 was renewed in 1721 and 1733 and again in 1743 during the disastrous epidemic at Messina, Sicily (19). A system of active surveillance was established in the major Levantine cities. The network, formed by consuls of various countries, connected the great Mediterranean ports of western Europe (15).. . . "

There were 1, 219, 487 deaths in the US due to Covid. Since I value life, yes it was worth it, as painful as it was.

There were 1, 219, 487 deaths in the US due to Covid. Since I value life, yes it was worth it, as painful as it was.

Over what time frame ?

3 years ?

That is a 12% increase. Hard to know how that even might make it statistically given the number of flue deaths we DIDN'T have.

 

[IM2]

That viruus did not have a 99.7 percent survival rate. It was a new virus that had no cure when it first hit. So the lockdown was a good idea.

Lock downs, quarantines, and shut downs were not a function of the Federal Government but one of those things controlled by State Government.

Sure the Federal Government can pressure the State....but as Florida proved...it's not always successful.

How many deaths and infections in the first year? Because that's before there was anything created that could stop the spread of the virus.

It actualy is a function of the Federal Government during a national disaster.

99.7 percent of the people who caught it survived. The lockdown costed lives and ripped the economy. Dems were over joyous at the economy exploding.

 

[SeaMajor7]

The first time in recorded Human history that HEALTHY people were "quarantined" in a real or otherwise health crisis.
Bonus tragic fact: The very definition of what a vaccine actually IS was changed to fit The Narrative.

The Covid Plandemic was perhaps the most EVIL thing I've ever lived through.

 

[ElmerMudd]

The lockdowns were an unmitigated disaster.

It depends on how you measure what was a good response. If it is about lives, it was a good response.
