Lockdown. A thread

Please follow @ElonBachman, I& #39;ll be quoting him a lot
If voluntary distancing occurs before mandatory lockdown, then the lockdown had little to no effect. The government policy is stealing the credit of what individuals were already doing. https://twitter.com/ElonBachman/status/1266023291816423424?s=20">https://twitter.com/ElonBachm...

In Georgia, voluntary distancing was already happening before mandatory closures
Hospitalizations peaked around the same time as the stay at home order. The voluntary distancing over the month already led to a plateau https://twitter.com/kelleykphoto/status/1272649885226078210">https://twitter.com/kelleykph...
Another graph, this is from the infection side. Infections were declining long before a stay at home order. The voluntary distancing slowed the spread, not the mandatory order. https://twitter.com/RichLeMond/status/1272707676548415488">https://twitter.com/RichLeMon...
@RebbeTakes has been saying that COVID-19 is an opportunistic disease. It& #39;s the nursing homes and hospitals that are a major issue of spreading the virus https://twitter.com/ElonBachman/status/1272566648420077568">https://twitter.com/ElonBachm...
The whole "even if you are asymptomatic you can spread it" was nonsense fear mongering https://twitter.com/CNBC/status/1270063282569781250">https://twitter.com/CNBC/stat...

Let& #39;s not forget how the protests revealed just how ridiculous the lockdown orders are
The next 2 weeks should reveal just how infectious the virus really is after the mass protests
