He brings up a good point: if Covid were actually deadly, the people in charge (who demanded draconian measures for two years), let it spread to their countries completely unchecked and would have let millions die.
The only time travel restrictions or lockdowns made any sense was before the virus spread everywhere; they're somewhat useful for containment, but that's it.
Not only did our "leaders" attack our jobs, families, and rights in the name of fighting the "pandemic", they also completely failed to actually fight it.
The only time quarantine is useful is when the population is sick. It should be used in moderation and limited in scope and duration for small groups of sick.
Beyond that it does magnitudes more harm than good, as has been shown by this whole fiasco.
Never again.
The fact that it happened at all means there's a good chance it'll happen again. I don't think most of the states have passed any laws against it.
That's got me scared too. All I can do as an individual is not comply.
Unbelievable that open tyranny can take place in a country that has traditionally valued and enshrined the concepts of freedom in its founding documents.
I mean I stopped complying June 2020. Never got the injection, never tested. Lockdowns still have a way of making life unpleasant. Whether it's having to obey arbitrary rules when entering a business or dealing with idiot zealot family/friends. I didn't lose anyone over the mandates (luckily no one expected me to comply, so I didn't get labeled an alt-right science denier), but many people did.
Right. Will a mid-term variant cause lockdowns again and, a bigger question, will the people allow it this time?
Humans will naturally self isolate during real pandemics. As has been seen in the black death and many other plagues in history.
There is never a need for a government quarantine unless a known group is deliberately spreading a bio-weapon on a localized population. (i.e. like trolls in world of warcrafts corrupted plague who deliberately brought it to cities.) and even then it needs to actually be justified and not on an airborne flu.
100%. Had I noticed a real reason to fear COVID, I would have avoided others only own.
