The same, if not worse, side effects for lock-downs. https://twitter.com/johnauthers/status/1308386807126646785
I also love how no one talks about Sweden anymore & well, what did I say about Sweden?

Am I right or am I right? Marathon & not a sprint.

Lock-downs are not sustainable, psychological, fiscally, socially and economically, so no way u can sustain anything w/ locking people down
Have u ever watched American advert for drugs? Usually, it goes like this. Feel depressed? Take XYZ drug. Shows a woman feeling better after being oh so sad. Then at the end it goes like this.

People talk about side-effects of Covid, which they like to use after they realize that the 200k of deaths flashing not having the same shock & awe value anymore as the new deaths lower, to hammer in the fear & the acceptance of lockdowns.

Side-effects of lock-downs:
Lock-downs treat Covid (actually no, did not save massive deaths but whatever let's pretend it does), & side-effects include:

*Wide-spread: depression, higher suicides, drug overdose, higher poverty, higher spread of disease among the poor, mass unemployment, mass misery...
Side effects include:

Learned helplessness, children not being educated, adults losing jobs, small businesses annihilated, big businesses falter ex tech & Walmart & Home Depot, local govs out of funds, tourism dead, all life events cancelled, all social gatherings cancelled...
Side-effects include:

Higher domestic abuse, the poor poorer, the rich richer, people divided over trivial issues, high social unrest as people feel frustrated, debt piles up but income falls, everything that makes us human is being shamed - that is us being social & connecting.
Side-effects include:

No human touch, esp if u live alone & elderly, dying alone, not getting elective surgery, a lot of diseases not treated, doctors out of work but people getting more ill as people only care about Covid, everyone, incl kids staring at the screen, dehumanized.
Side-effects include:

Apparently more people are dying of hunger because of Covid than Covid. I heard that somewhere.

Anyway, yes, but go for it, lock-downs are great!!! Don't worry about the side-effects! 🤗
