Lock Downs are foolish, can never work, never have worked


ONLY herd immunity has ever ended any entrenched epidemic.
Lock downs can not, have not, and ever will end any epidemic.
By stretching the time of any epidemic, locks downs always result in larger numbers of deaths.

Here are the experts.
Listen to them.

No, that is a quarantine. The difference is a quarantine work fast.
You prevent infected people from entering, you contact trace until you find all the infected people, and you isolate them for 12 days.

NZ can do quarantine because its contacts were limited, and they had plenty of time to organize the quarantine.

A lock down is where you have millions of people infected, and you let them all mingle with the uninfected, except you just make everyone wear a mask and keep 6' away in public.
The reason that can not work at all is that because food is not provided or isolated, there is still constant infections going on, only more slowly. And that does no good at all, because then the virus will not die. We will stay infected, potentially forever, unless herd immunity stops it. But 30,000 a month will die in the mean time.

Except that ordinary people DO have to break quarantine for food. There is no way to survive 8 months without mixing.
So there is no end to it.
People are constantly getting infected, so there will always be live virus on hand.

And it is ignorant to call "herd immunity", prehistoric.
Herd immunity is the ONLY thing that has ever ended ANY epidemic, ever. It is the only thing that will end covid-19.
By delaying herd immunity, we are just killing 30,000 a month for nothing.

WHO warns against COVID-19 lockdowns due to economic damage
By Jackie SaloOctober 11, 2020

The World Health Organization has warned leaders against relying on COVID-19 lockdowns to tackle outbreaks — after previously saying countries should be careful how quickly they reopen.

WHO envoy Dr. David Nabarro said such restrictive measures should only be treated as a last resort, the British magazine the Spectator reported in a video interview.

“We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” Nabarro said.

“The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted, but by and large, we’d rather not do it.”

Nabarro said tight restrictions cause significant harm, particularly on the global economy.

“Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never, ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer,” he said.

He added that lockdowns have severely impacted countries that rely on tourism.

“Just look at what’s happened to the tourism industry in the Caribbean, for example, or in the Pacific because people aren’t taking their holidays,” Nabarro told the outlet.

“Look what’s happened to smallholder farmers all over the world. Look what’s happening to poverty levels. It seems that we may well have a doubling of world poverty by next year. We may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition.”

Another expert called it "mass murder" today feeling 2 million people would die per year for the foreseeable future! That's the GOLD of a Trump administration! I wonder how many must die for those supporters to come around to rational thought again? emoticon
