[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some people are so blinded by polarizing gang warfare of team blue and team red, that they don't want to admit a lot of the lockdowns and requirements of the past two years were ineffectual. Biden was not able to end COVID, and that was a fantastical goal that didn't align with science. They can't bring themselves to realize that a lot of what Republicans pushed months ago is what democratic governors and politicians finally realized too : we can't let this virus define our lives forever. People have to make personal choices about their own risk tolerances and for vaccinated people the risks are comparable to the flu.[/quote]

There have been almost no actual lockdowns here, if we're going to get technical about terms -- the stay home orders always had a ton of exceptions, and at any rate, all that has been lifted for a very long time anyway. "You have to wear a mask in public" is not the same as "you can't leave your house."[/quote]

I can’t believe there are still people yelling “real lockdowns haven’t been tried.” What is your end goal here? Zero Covid isn’t a thing. [/quote]

I'm not suggesting we should have more lockdowns. I'm just saying we didn't really have them. That isn't to deny the significant costs of the measures we did put in place here; I just don't think we should exaggerate in either direction.[/quote]
