I think you're thinking about these things in a binary way when there's a lot of wiggle room. What do you consider a lock-down? To me, a lock-down is equal to "stay at home orders combined with only essential businesses are open." How long did that last? Mask mandates, social distancing, and limited capacities are not lockdowns IMO.

Name me a single country which is neither an island (or de facto island in the case of SK) nor an authoritarian dictatorship that got covid under control without ongoing, severe restrictions of contacts and social life.

yes.. I know how people could be pissed at the luke warm message. I never took this as it was ever going to get better. The only way I saw this going well was the Taiwan tracing blah blah.. Was NEVER going to happen in the US.

I would call that a "full lockdown". However, when you have limits on social contacts akin to "you may only meet one person who's not from your household at a time" while workplaces are open, but schools, universities, clubs, restaurants, shops, tourism, gyms, amateur sports and so on an forth are all shut down, I would call that a lockdown too. Call it a "partial lockdown" if you will, but restrictions of this magnitude do qualify as a lockdown in my book.

I don't think mask mandates and keeping everyone 6 feet apart is that drastic and I would not even consider that a lockdown in anyway. We should be moving away from packing everyone in buses like sardines anyway.

I also think that officials severely underestimated the politicization and stupidity of Americans. We really should have had Pelosi going to conservative areas telling them to go out to the movies and eat Chinese food for a year straight so that they would stay at home.

Hanging out with friends and family while staying 6 feet apart would be tolerable. It's not having any worthwhile free time activities available, other than sitting in the park or at home in front of a TV, which is the killer.

School closures are a HUGE restriction which robs our children of education and future life opportunities, hampers their social and emotional development and exacerbates all kinds of preexisting inequalities. I would even go as far as calling school closures which last for months on end a state-sanctioned crime against our children.

And let't not even talk about the millions of people who were literally stripped of their livelihood by these restrictions, for example all the people working in leisure, hospitality, culture, private education and so on. Or think of all the young folks who are single and barely had options for dating for months on end.




Sure, an introvert with a white collar job who can work from home, has a nice apartment/house, a family and doesnt have to worry financially will not be all that affected by these restrictions. But many others are hit infinitely harder.

All the things that you mentioned can coexist with a mask mandate and social distancing requirement. We can even has smaller restrictions for outdoor activities such as attending baseball games. As I said before, these shouldn't be considered a "lockdown" in any sense of the word.

I agree that schools should be open and LOL at young people not able to date. There's literally no way to enforce that unless you physically lock people in their homes.

has to be something really wrong with people that still believe masks stop the cootie. its probably the most disgusting practice ever imagined up wearing a mask day in and day out filled with all kinds of gross stuff. it just makes sense the lefties are so enamored with it.
