whatever. How can you do more lockdown that what they did?
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) discussion

It's called martial law. Stay at home orders enforced by the military.
Could they have done it? Yes. Would they? Obviously not... unless we had another black death or some kind of airborne ebola that was wiping out society.
I think these issues can only be decided based on the 'mostly likely' principle.
Both the FBI and CIA are saying it's the most likely narrative.
FBI chief Christopher Wray says China lab leak most likely
Other US agencies have come to different conclusions from the FBI on how the pandemic began.www.bbc.co.uk
Covid-19: CIA says lab leak most likely source of outbreak
But the US intelligence agency cautions it has "low confidence" in this new determination.
I just want the truth. If it's been man made or manipulated then we have a good chance of understanding it and getting treatments faster.
CIA saying it's the most likely outcome but has low confidence in this assertion? Not very reassuring is it.
Countries shut down their borders. Didn't allow people to go further than 100m from their homes except for essentials (tracking their phones etc). Cars and people were getting checked by police to ensure people had valid reasons or permits. Lockdowns for longer periods. It's very easy to have had more lockdown...
Which countries you in about. I was in Russia for 6 months from March 2020
Such a uk view. You probably don’t even leave your postcode and talk about the world
Stick to that advocating cause you were in some trial and somehow defend it cause you were a sucker for feeling important

I tell you about different approaches to lockdown used by different countries, and you tell me that I need to travel more?
What difference does it make if I've never left my postcode or if I've lived in multiple countries? Do the facts become less true?
Again, personal anecdotes do not carry the same weight as the evidence of millions, analysed properly. My personal experiences simply do not count when measured against well done scientific studies (or whether a country went into a stricter lockdown than the UK).
All cause death rates will likely remain elevated for awhile - I can't remember the exact numbers but over the next 5-10 years something like 80K people will die due to late diagnoses or other healthcare interruptions from the pandemic for things like cancers, etc.
And short of properly funding our healthcare system there isn't really a way that could be avoided - if the healthcare system had collapsed, and it was a real prospect, when COVID ramped up that number would have been considerably exceeded.
Before the firebreak lockdown my local district hospital was operating at 9/10th of its capacity to deal with COVID along with massive staff burnout and an increasing number off sick with COVID and having to transport critical non-COVID patients to outlying facilities just to stay operational. Two of my cousins work there along with several of my colleagues having family working there so I know it was bad.
found anything independent yet? Open your eyes man

Now you are trolling.
Yeah, room temperature IQ alright. Whinging and crying about all the laugh reacts and can't see why you get them. Onto the ignore list you go.

so wrong. You’re the one well upset cause people disagree with your narrative
People may have a different view but why lambast them ?

Its same spokesperson who blathered that the aircraft crash was due to diversity/Biden/Obama and aliens probably. Its the state of the world we live in today facts don't matter only opinions
Yea just because someone thinks the world is flat and being run by lizard men, and they're turning our frogs gay, they shouldn't be criticised.
I think they just promote whatever line the Whitehouse is pushing.
The previous spokesperson was useless as well.

True but unfair, at least I volunteered and thought I may be a proper test subject.
Now let's say 50% were given the vaccine and 50% like me were given water that's still 25,000 people on the proper trial.
Once again no vaccine in the history of vaccines have had that many people on a trial.
To keep regurgitating it was untested is complete and utter BS.
I have injections and blood tests all the time and the funny thing is my arm did ache for a couple of days, I'd love to know what they put in the water, probably a Bill Gates tracker.
