New data suggest that social distancing and reopening haven’t determined the spread.
two large-scale experiments in public health—first, in March and April, the lockdown of the economy to arrest the spread of the virus, and second, since mid-April, the reopening of the economy. The results are in. Counterintuitive though it may be, statistical analysis shows that locking down the economy didn’t contain the disease’s spread and reopening it didn’t unleash a second wave of infections.
Considering that lockdowns are economically costly and create...

sounds like it might be interesting to read.
Anyone found a link outside the paywall?
Actually it hasn’t failed. It’s doing just what the commies planned.
How far could they push this before they are lynched?
The breaking point is at hand.

....Contemplating that lockdowns are economically expensive and create well-documented long-term public-health penalties past Covid, imposing them seems to have been a big coverage error. Originally, when little was identified, officers acted in methods they thought prudent. However now proof proves that lockdowns had been an costly therapy with critical unintended effects and no profit to society.
TrendMacro, my analytics agency, tallied the cumulative variety of reported circumstances of Covid-19 in every state and the District of Columbia as a share of inhabitants, primarily based on knowledge from state and native well being departments aggregated by the Covid Monitoring Venture. We then in contrast that with the timing and depth of the lockdown in every jurisdiction. That’s measured not by the mandates put in place by authorities officers, however relatively by observing what folks in every jurisdiction truly did, together with their baseline habits earlier than the lockdowns. That is captured in extremely detailed anonymized cellphone monitoring knowledge supplied by Google and others and tabulated by the College of Maryland’s Transportation Institute right into a “Social Distancing Index.”

All because, “orange man bad”.
my thoughts as well...
It was a good article. All this nonsense has got to stop, and hopefully the drip drip drip of articles like this will give the politicians courage to just go ahead and reopen.
On a depressing note, I saw a line of 2nd graders crossing the street to the pickup point or bus stop. They were all wearing masks, keeping far apart, and doing all the government decreed stuff.
They were not skipping, laughing, shoving, shouting, giggling or doing anything normal second graders would do. They were shuffling along in silence and with their heads down .
Why are they doing this to our young people?

So very sad isn’t it? And there is no shortage of people who believe we are doing the right thing, even in the face of all we see and know.

Thank you! Now, how did you do that lol?
” Counterintuitive though it may be “
Indeed: commonsense tells us that lockdowns have to make a difference, but they don’t!
So... WHY?
A full scale all-out lockdown like China did appears to work. But that’s unacceptable for very many reasons.
How does that virus get around even in a ‘reasonable’ lockdown?
Thanks!
Look Nancy pelosi has just shown us it is safe and okay to go out and live your life. I say open it all up. Shampooed and blow drys can not just be for the elite.
Shampoos for all. Biden should run on that.
This is of course not at all about the fake ‘public health’ China virus but rather about government power, force and control.
