The economy is the only thing that is real in this entire equation, after all.

Nah, the social costs of lockdowns, school closures and distancing are all very real.

Unnecessarily and flippantly depriving children of contact with their peers to mitigate a virus which is virtually no threat for them is a crime against humanity.

All we need to do is eradicate all religions and replace it with patriotism and the economy.

Federal reserve may as well be what the pope used to be. And what they do makes about as much sense as priests/cardinals or whatever professionally religious person does.

Government shouldve been overthrown a long time ago. But the base is diverse and people cant get anything done unless they all look alike. So this idea of us all being economic focused americans wouldnt work as americans are diverse. BlackRock will soon own all of the land.

but it is a threat to them. If your kid has his appendix burst he's going to die if the hospital is full.

LMAO fantastic

I dont think there's a middle ground where you limit ([the evil, terrible, so irresponsible and wrongly done]) lockdowns with "acceptable" loss. Especially in a developped country where each victim will be tracked and counted.

What you are losing here is more than money: it's the whole soul of a nation in the name of a despicable fascist ideology. The only thing you got left is a bunch of bastards.

you consider the evil unvaxxed an acceptable loss so some people around their life expectancy and fatties would have been an acceptable loss to make sure children are not traumatised and ruined for life, but i guess logical thinking is not your thing

i hope the lockdown fanatics will get properly hit in the face by the consequences of their stupidity

That's why I prefaced my statement with the qualifier "unnecessary".
It goes back to what I was saying before: not all types of infections will increase pressure on hospitals, hence, not all kinds of spread need to be prevented at any cost. Yes, school children do get infected, but studies from all over the world have shown that infections among the school children do not drive infection waves in older age cohorts, nor do they contribute meaningfully to the pressure on the healthcare system.


To name one example, California kept schools almost entirely closed throughout last winter while Florida kept them mostly open, yet Cali had more covid cases and covid deaths per capita throughout that winter than Florida. Cali needlessly closed its schools down during that time, depriving its children of education and much needed social interaction as well as exacerbating socioeconomic inequality. This should be a big scandal, but of course the media is dead silent on the issue.

rip social skills. that will just produce a bunch of awkward incels.

no problem, after like 10 years of sitting in front of a computer with a face diaper after getting 10 booster shots, big daddy zuckerberg will have some virtual reality shit going for our young people
