It appears the panic pushers are down to one last scare tactic: long-term effects (there is simply no longer any concern that COVID will grow exponentially and overwhelm hospitals or lead to piles of bodies).

1/5

If we're going to hold normal life hostage to long-term effects, there are many diseases with much greater prevalence and consequences.

Diabetes, for example. Life-long effects. Should we eliminate that before resuming normal life?

2/5

Not to mention car accidents. Lots of potential long-term effects from amputations, etc. Should we eliminate car accidents before resuming normal life?

How low should medical/accident risks be before we're allowed to decide for ourselves on our level of risk?

3/5

At what level of risk to a small number of people is a state of emergency justified?

Clearly this is no longer an emergency, if it ever was.

This is a medical issue, and we have the capability to treat those medical issues.

4/5

In fact, if we stop limiting the ability of hospitals to treat any medical issues they have the capacity to treat, MANY long-term consequences of MANY diseases will be prevented.

Why is this one potential long-term consequence more important than the rest?
