“Well DD, which is it?
Was it better to lock down, or let covid rampage unchecked?”
1) Neither. Respond appropriately instead of playing politics. Remember the clips of Kamala Harris refusing to take any vaccine associated with Trump? That’s a prime example of how idiot Politicians behave at the expense of citizens.
“Im referring not only to mortality rates but the sheer amount of people that would need hospitalisation and ICU support. Can you imagine the affect on supply chains, as anonymous pointed out, if uncontrolled amounts of people got sick?”
2) This goes back to understanding mortality rates and prevention. The amount of normal, healthy people in danger from Covid-19 is very low. That leaves us with those with known co-morbidity issues, and of course the small amount of seemingly healthy people who may die. We’re still looking at 99.7% being at zero risk of death.
There would be no mass ICU issues if known, tested, and proven methods of prevention with decades of real testing had been implemented from the start. Yet, just like Kamala refusing to take a “Trump vaccine”, methods of proven and existing (No need to wait for months and let the virus run it’s course while rushing out a less than thoroughly tested MRNA shot ) and inexpensive treatments were ignored or purposely discredited along with anyone who recommended them.
Here’s a interesting fact. It’s illegal to approve a treatment for emergency use when know, tested and proven treatments already exist.
So, why don’t we all put the blame where it belongs, namely everyone responsible for playing politics, lying about prevention and treatments while making vast amounts of money? This includes anyone who knowingly went along with the game, whether it is Trump, Faucci, Biden, Harris, Trudeau, any Doctors, or your local elected official, the local School Board masking children, the sickening Canadian officials giving children ice-cream and vaccinations without parental consent and the idiot healthcare worker in the UK who tried to take a newborn from its Mother, who tested negative for Covid-19, and give it a PCR test.
These idiotic, useless, money hungry bureaucrats and the morons who follow them are the problem. Why don’t we put the blame where it belongs?
