FTR I opposed all government lockdown orders. All of them. Nobody sitting in a state house or the White House has the authority to order any business or church to shut it’s doors.
Everything governments did to try to contain this virus was not going to contain the virus. All they could do is make recommendations based on information they had at the time.
This was an unknown contagious disease so we were all learning as we went along. You quarantine sick people not healthy people. The earliest models were all wrong and they needlessly scared everyone into submission.
The power hungry authoritarians who think they rule us seized the opportunity to unleash their control over the peasants and the peasants just complied.
People like @JesseKellyDC was warning everyone right off the bat and more should have listened to him. He understands the game the left plays better than anyone I know.
Many of us were warning that these models were wrong. The response was wrong. There was going to be more pain in the long run than in the short term if we did this.
We were maligned and murderers and wanting grandma to die. Literally none of that is true. We just know you don’t destroy the one thing you need to get through a pandemic, the economy, when you’re in a pandemic.
You see we believe individuals have agency and can make their own decisions and assume their own risks. Your choices to go outside are yours to make.
We all said if you’re at high risk then do whatever you have to do to keep yourself safe, but we learned early on who was at high risk and that turned into everyone who gets it is going to die.
Turns out this thing has a high recovery rate and even though a lot of people died, most recovered. Many of us refused to live in fear of a virus and it was so disturbing to us that so many just laid down and let the government trample all over our liberties.
We don’t come together anymore when we are hit with a threat. We fight along political lines and it’s clear that we are not the United States of America anymore. I’m all for breaking up at this point. It’s preferable to all out revolution.
