Imposing lockdown policies to protect public health and mitigate death is increasingly looking overwrought. New data makes continuing these lockdowns downright destructive.
Stay-at-home lockdowns imposed by most states have slowed the coronavirus. This has prevented too many people from being simultaneously infected to the point of overwhelming the hospital system. That critical time, in early spring, is passed.
The continued lockdowns are unwarranted and ineffective in preventing deaths from Covid-19. Lockdowns have spread out the number of deaths over a longer time period. Still, the number of people getting infected with coronavirus has steadily increased, as have the number of deaths, during which most states where in lockdown.
It was recently reported in New York State that 66 percent of patients with Covid symptoms who checked into hospitals were individuals who “locked down” at home. They were not “essential workers.” They caught it from home, with many such people either retired or unemployed. These results came from a New York State commissioned three-day survey of patients hospitalized with Covid-like symptoms.
Meanwhile, the state of Georgia in late April, began to reopen businesses against a cacophony of opposition that predicted it was too soon, and infection and death rates would spike. Neither has occurred.
There have been a costly lessons brewing for some time. The initial coronavirus models predicting imminent death caused massive societal changes to save lives. The New York survey and the infinitesimal death rates in all but five states now cast serious doubt on lockdowns, the modeling itself, and the now literal guesswork about a second wave.
These initial lockdown policies were imposed based on the fear that this pandemic could kill more than 2 million Americans based on what turned out to be outlandish modeling from the Royal College of London.

I had more faith we could keep our constitutional Republic when young people questioned authority instead of using apps to report people who question it.
The only thing lockdowns did was destroy the most successfull economy ever!
Who benefits?
Democrats, Liberals and the Bought & Paid For, Knee-Pad Media (at the beck and call of the Chinese) who openly stated that we needed a resession to get rid of President Trump!
“Journal of the Plague Year” (Defoe, pub. 1722 – about the London plague of 1665).
The “lockdown” ensured the deaths of thousands.
It’s not like nobody knows.
The Wuhan Flu was not the first outbreak of a flu, and probably not the last.
It has, however, been the most finely orchestrated.
The Chi-Coms and their stooges in Academia, the Demonrat Party, and the Media have seen to that.
izlamo delenda est …
” Imposing lockdown policies to protect public health and mitigate death … ”
Is nonsense, they are not intended to do that.
They have an entirely different purpose.
Do people have no idea at all what is going on?
Come out and VOTE in mass this November.
Don’t give them any satisfaction!
I said here 3 weeks ago they were only a means to destroy America and un elect Don.
AA thought I was “overboard”. I hold fast!
AA – how about you?
