Lockdowns DON'T work, study claims: Researchers say forced stay-at-home orders were not associated with lower coronavirus deaths in countries around the world

Lockdowns have not had a big impact on coronavirus death rates around the world, scientists have claimed.

Dozens of countries have been forced to tell people to stay home and close shops in a bid to stop the Covid-19 pandemic since it broke out in January.

But now a study has claimed the drastic measures don't even work. They found whether a country was locked down or not was 'not associated' with death rate.

People are coming out...and numbers are going up. These folks should have been out and about and tested during the rise. The death percentages wouldn't change...

They created this NEW SPIKE sh** by quarantining well people.

Very clever Dr. Fauci.

This should have been obvious from the start. At no time in history has any country or entity locked down the healthy instead of quarantining the sick. In 2009, the CDC put out at least a half dozen studies detailing how masks did not work for the 2009 flu virus and that people should not be wearing them. We see more evidence every day that they are rigging the numbers, stacking data on deaths to show a higher rate and generally lying about the numbers. The actual numbers now show that this isn’t even an epidemic any more. This has been a political scamdemic from the start.

If masks work so well, why are the cases going up?

All bullshit.

This will all end on November 3rd 2020!

Several sources have been repeatedly publishing real numbers, real analysis, real science. And they keep getting ignored by the powers that be, including most in the GOP.

A lot of folks have a lot invested in keeping the panic going and keeping us separated and locked down.

“They release felons because they could contract COVID in prison and tell healthy people to quarantine themselves in their home.”

Only progressives could come up with something so logical.

Put on your own mask and over that put on the mask you want me to wear.

The filtration effect to you will be the same and you can ignore me.

But is correlation the same as causation? I’d love to be able to go back to work but it seems to me that areas with rates of cases are both more likely to lock down and have higher death rates.

Not strictly true. During the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic schools, theaters, and other public places were ordered closed.

True in some states and cities but not nationwide and not long-term. My grandfather was 32 during that time. I asked him about it back in 75 when the swine flu was the panic of the year. Where he lived, there were deaths, a lot of people wore masks but still got the flu and most went about their business. There was a war going on and that seemed more important to them than a flu epidemic which was an almost yearly occurrence.
