See this sentence.

It’s already in the past.

Learn from this insanity and make some GOOD come out of it and move on.

Ain’t nobody that can go back one second in time except the Good Lord

I predict we will be fine and even be thriving by next year if Trump is reelected. Third quarter might even be pretty dam good

It Accomplished Absolutely Nothing

...Except screw up the economy.

The Hardest Thing About This Lockdown May Be Admitting to Ourselves That It Accomplished Absolutely Nothing

That’s not what I heard on CNN...

The lockdown aided the liberal agenda in N ways (very large N).
What those of us who actually produce things will do about it is up to us.
And the decision is existential.

The goal was to prevent the overloading of hospitals. For the most part, it accomplished that.

We didn't accomplish anything - they learned how easy it is to shut down the country.

Oh, It accomplished something alright. How about the destruction of one of the greatest economies in US history for starters? Instilling fear and cowardice amongst the weak-minded in our society, as well as social conditioning with the goal of obtaining absolute control over every aspect of people’s lives.

It accomplished something alright, something that was pure evil and from the pit of hell.

Yep. The flu deaths are still up, meaning, if all those idiotic measures did nothing to curb the flu, then it didn’t curb any other virus either.

I think the lockdown was certainly overkill.

But ...

Masks help.
Social distancing helps.
Not living in NYC really helps.

At first, when it was an emergency, and not anything was known about the disease,it made most people feel good, because they thought that their sacrifice would help the country.

Au contraire: it did what the dems hoped - it destroyed the roaring Trump economy.

If you're talking about the government mandated lockdown you may be right, but that's because the population started "locking down" on their own before any orders.

It wasn't the government that cancelled sporting events and stopped going to restaurants, etc. etc. It was rational people looking to protect themselves and we saw the results with the curve of the disease.

What do you think the curve would look like if we hadn't social distanced and eliminated large gatherings?

As always, the people were way ahead of the government and it will be the people who decide how fast we reopen - not the politicians.

Then those who locked everyone down MUST be punished. They are going to have to pay a price.

Very true. We need to get laws in place preventing elderly unelected bureaucrats from taking over the country, and laws to prevent politically declared “health emergencies” from being able to completely suppress the Constitution and our Constitutional rights and protections.

I don’t know why Trump let him do that. I’m sure he knows he did the wrong thing, and nobody wants to talk about it...especially the Dem politicians who did really, really wrong things and will defend them till the day they die.

If anybody can rebuild us it will be Trump, but we’re not even going to know the full devastation until everything opens up again.

I've been asking this question and haven't seen an answer: Is there any evidence that grocery store employees have contracted the corona virus in larger numbers than the general population, or have experienced a larger number of serious cases and deaths than the general population?

Nothing shows the unscientific nature of the lockdowns more than the fact that grocery stores were universally exempt, even though employees of those stores would be exposed to many more strangers than the employees of many "non-essential" businesses that were forced to close.

If there has not been a surge of corona virus cases in grocery store employees, that suggests that the lockdowns were totally unnecessary.

The so-called “lock down” played into many peoples’ paranoia. They lost their illusion of being “safe” because of the dishonest government people (and the dishonest/liar media) who pushed the “we are all going to die” theme. We were sold or forced to take a pig-in-a-poke. The death rate from this communist virus is less than for an average influenza. People are having a hard time accepting that they are weak, misinformed and prone to panic,,,and gullible. Many still hold on to their view that we need to have the government lead us to safety. That isn’t safety...it is the equivalent of a boxcar going to the showers.
