[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My memory of it is that actual general “lockdowns” were brief and related to hospital capacity - we had to do whatever we could to avoid becoming New York.

The part that went on too long, was harmful and didn’t work well was remote schooling and masks for kids. [/quote]

Assuming you didn't own a restaurant or a gym or want to go to a park. [/quote]

They were very brief and restaurants reopened via carryout.  Many struggled before and those that did well changed their business model to make it work.  Others rightfully shut down.  [/quote]

You really don't have a clue. The forced change to a carry out model devastated restaurants. You can just retool overnight for something like that. It's not just buy some styrofoam takeout containers and let's go.[/quote]

Actually many restaurants did just fine converting over.  You sound like you have some serious issues if you are so inflexible and covid was so traumatic for you.  Seek help.[/quote]

Care to back that opinion up that many restaurants did just fine? Or are you making thing up out of thin air?[/quote]

They are still open and busy.  That means they are doing just fine.  Some of the owners are opening up other restaurants... they are doing just fine if not very well.  Many that shut down needed to close anyway.

Did you lose your business?  Is that why you are so bitter?

Grow up and move on already.  Millions of people died and all you care about is a playground.  [/quote]

You are intentionally missing the point. We care about mitigations that work, not performative measures that make a small, vocal, nutjob minority happy. [/quote]

You don’t care about mitigation or you’d do simple things like masking indoors.  So, stop pretending and stop with the silly comments that have no meaning to you like businesses struggling.  [/quote]

Funny, I remember when the CDC said wear a mask and everyone celebrated. Then the CDC said, you don't need to wear a mask, and suddenly, the CDC was the great Satan. You aren't interested in mitigations, you are interested in what makes you *feel* safe. [/quote]

The initial lying about the fact that N95-level respirator use was clearly needed to reduce the risk of COVID infection (because it is airborne!) was dumb and will go down as a historical embarrassment.

I personally celebrated when they admitted they were full of it on that score. (I had already bought and was using an N95 respirator at that point; how you looked at me while I did it or whatever you have to say about it now is of no interest.)

I now think they’re idiots and will look like shills for minimizing masking in their public health messaging to individuals still trying to avoid getting COVID.

IDK what that all means about my relationship to the CDC. At any rate, it’s not as straightforward as you wish it were.[/quote]

So, it's fine if you disagree with public health policy, but wrong for me to disagree with public health policy. You must be more of a medical expert than I am. What's your degree in?[/quote]

Au contraire, mon frère.

You seem to want to be in a fight? IDK why, but I don’t have any views about your agreement with public health policy or lack thereof, as I have no idea what your basis for agreeing or disagreeing would be. [/quote]
