Her cancer doctor was prohibited from ordering her routine scan so she did not get her routine scan until 9 months later than normal. The results at that time were not good and she died from cancer.

Many people died (unrelated to Covid) from the US lockdowns as they could not go to their routine scans and healthcare appointments.

We didn’t have “US lockdowns.” Try again.

I’ve been following this man. He’s obviously being very careful about what he says & trying to stay positive, but it is still frightening. I believe they chose not to leave because his wife is Chinese (as I recall). It would be so scary to be stuck with small children & inconsistent supplies of food & drinking water.

I was able to get preventative care during Covid. This doesn’t make sense.

Makes zero sense. A few week or even two months, yes. Not nine months. We have military insurance and the longest wait for non emergency has been two months.

Oh geez. I click on this thread and there are actual crazy people defending this. I can't.

But they didn't die of covid, so it's all cool according to PP.

Where and when did Fauci endorse telling people they couldn’t leave their apartment even to get food even when no food deliveries were available? This is just a lie. You people are so full of it.

He didn’t say all that. But he does like the way China handled it.

It’s the greatest tragedy in our history that Orange Doofus didn’t do the same thing here at the start of the pandemic. Think of the millions of lives that would’ve saved.

All that blood is on your hands, Freedumber’s. All of it.

I would take the US approach over China's approach all day long. The greatest tragedy of our history would have been the forced lockdowns on our population.

Then you don’t have any comprehension of what the word “tragedy” even means.

Hint: it’s not “being required to stay in your house for a couple weeks”, snowflake.

Yes this is definitely going to be over in a couple weeks.

It could have been if trump and his idiot followers hadn’t screwed it up.

Right! And if we did what Shanghai did, this would’ve been over 2 years ago. We need to bring that here. Sure people couldn’t leave their houses or get food, but people should store lots of food anyway so it’s their fault for being ignorant. Just have food, watch Netflix for a month, and shutup and do what you’re told. Fauci is the expert. Not us. Even if it saves one life, it’s worth it.

But no trumpers wanted to leave their house to “work”. They didn’t wanna work, they wanted to attend more Charlottesville-like rally’s!!

Absolutely 100% spot-on.

We could’ve stopped covid cold in 2020 if it weren’t for trump and trumpers ruining it.

This is hilarious. Good thing nobody listens to nutters like you. Stop covid cold? Why didn't China lick it the first time with their lockdowns? Your fantasy lockdown is never going to happen.

NP. Not everyone was as lucky as you. My mom was bedridden for 6 months because her hip replacement kept getting delayed. She didn't die, but she was in tremendous pain for months. Docs kept rescheduling and prescribing0 narcotic pain meds. There was no ball of her hip left when she finally got in.

Yeah, this scenario happened for many.

My brother was scheduled for shoulder surgery in either late March or early April 2020. It was canceled because it was seen as "elective" by the hospital even though it affected his everyday life and work life.

He was finally able to get the surgery in April 2021 and it ended up being more evasive and a bigger procedure than it would have been in 2020. Instead of just needing to repair one thing, they had to repair 3 different things and his healing process was much longer. Also, of course, because they had to repair more, his bill was more. His insurance covered all but $2k of it but it wouldn't have been that much a year prior.

This wasn't because of lockdowns, though. It's because of hospital staffing. When hospitals had to set up Covid protocols, it meant that certain areas of the building had to be isolated and dedicated just to Covid patients, with different entrances, exits, and staff. So those doctors and nurses COULD NOT work in other areas of the hospital, for fear of cross-contamination. Normally hospitals are leanly staffed and have swing nurses that can go where they're needed if any particular unit is experiencing high demand. Moving all of those resources to Covid meant that there was not adequate staffing for things like hip replacement or shoulder surgery. If it makes you feel better, hospitals also hated this because hip replacements and shoulder surgeries are what pay the bills, not Covid ICUs. Healthcare profits plummeted while healthcare workers were burned out by the thousands.

It wasn't top-down government lockdowns that put the kibosh on "elective" healthcare, it was our obsession with lean staffing and low overhead in hospitals.

If you were in an elected position and promoted this policy, you would have been ousted as soon as possible. Throw the word snowflake around as much as you want. It wouldn't have mattered.
