I have posted following previously: our liberties were taken away without any legal foundation, no vote, not a damn thing except fear. The data/modeling was bogus and that was obvious to most - more so because we were never, ever told the details.
Let's pose a hypothetical: suppose the details unfolded and the dire predictions were proximately accurate; moreover, imagine that the analysts stated this may last for several years. Do we continue a lockdown/quarantine? Suppose no vaccine is ever produced (took over a decade for AIDS)? Do we shut down? The point? There was never, IMO, any real plan. It was mostly shooting from the hip. There is mounting evidence, to compound the matter, that much of the advice /decisions was counter-productive.
Ax's point that people die every day is spot on. Lot's of people. We don't shut society down because of that. Per other posts, we never really implemented a risk based approach. Reality is that people stayed home and exited when they needed to tend to necessities - unless, of course, they were prevented from doing so out of fear or policy. Necessities like cancer treatments, surgeries, etc........
I see much of this as a mix of some practical moves and a heavy dose of power structure control. Look how quickly the social distancing/lockdown weenies (i.e., mayors, governors) changed their tune once Antifa and the rest decided to put Chapters 3, 5 and 7 of the urban destruction playbook into action. Not a friggin peep from the same people who were thrteatening folks with police action (the same ones they now deplore) the day before.
