It's too late for that. The only event in all of history that ranks as a bigger mistake is the first World War, with all the idiot leaders not realizing how fucking bad a modern war would be and killing millions upon millions of people and destroying European society paving the way for communism, the Nazis, and WWII. And even then, COVID-1984 lockdowns aren't far behind it especially since they're over a disease that barely kills or seriously harms anyone who isn't morbidly obese or old enough to remember the first World War (less than half a percent die from it). The harm caused by the lockdowns has permanently damaged the mental health of tens of millions minimum, will lead to a hundreds of thousands of suicides, has financially ruined untold millions of people and entire countries, and will cause permanent damage to the very fabric of society. And we don't know how bad that will be, god forbid COVID-1984 lockdowns pave the way for the gulags of the SocJus Reich.

All because a bunch of politicians, scientists, and other "experts" didn't want to admit they were wrong.

Corona-chan doesn't show up at the funerals of good people like George Floyd, John Lewis, or RBG.

I had a thought. What if the authorities decide to tie reopening to a certain percentage of the population getting vaccinated? And what if they put it on a sliding scale? Once 20% of your county/province/region is vaccinated, you can have gatherings of so many people and such-and-such businesses can open. At 30%, you can have bigger gatherings and so-and-so businesses can reopen. At 50%, schools can be in-person for so many days a week. At 60%, they can add another in-person day.
Have any governments floated ideas like this? Do you think any of them actually would do it?

With many normies currently feeling skeptical about any COVID-19 vaccine that hasn't been tested or vetted as thoroughly or rigorously as any other vaccine is, these kind of metrics might not work as intended because people generally don't like taking unnecessary health risks and many don't want to be the early adopters of a vaccine that may end up having unknown or unintended side effects resulting form the rush to get it out to the public as soon as possible.

in Michigan, Governor Whitmer has now ordered students from Kindergarten through grade 5 to wear masks while attending in-person classes. Previously, only those in grades 6-12 were required to do so.

The article mentions that schools in the Upper Peninsula (UP) are somehow exempt even though the UP is currently seeing an uptick in infections.

Boris Johnson abandoned plans for a second national lockdown over fears Rishi Sunak could QUIT, senior MPs claims as rift claims deepen
Rishi Sunak warned second national lockdown would make job near impossible

Prime Minister Boris Johnson abandoned his plans for a second national lockdown over fears Rishi Sunak could quit, a senior MP said as rift claims deepen.
Mr Sunak warned the economic impact caused by a second national lockdown would make his job near impossible.
He argued to keep Britain open to protect millions of jobs and businesses despite medical and scientific experts wanting tougher restrictions to stop the spread of the virus, The Sun reported.
The Chancellor has introduced a number of measures to save jobs and businesses throughout the pandemic, including the Job Retention Scheme and Eat Out To Help Out.
Rishi Sunak argued to keep Britain open to protect millions of jobs and businesses despite medical and scientific experts wanting tougher restrictions to stop the spread of the virus
A senior MP told The Sun: 'There were fears he would find it difficult to carry on if he was ignored.
'It was all down to the Chancellor that we avoided delivering a hammer blow to the economy and took a more balanced approach instead. Rishi saved the day.'
Yesterday, Mr Sunak's deputy swatted away suggestions of a rift between the Chancellor and Mr Johnson over the Government's coronavirus strategy.
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Stephen Barclay insisted both men were working 'in tandem' and denied Numbers 10 and 11 were adopting different approaches.
On Thursday Mr Sunak said the nation needed to learn to 'live without fear', just days after the Prime Minister tightened coronavirus laws amid a steep rise in cases.


Unveiling his Winter Economic Plan, the Chancellor said 'our lives can no longer be put on hold', which was widely interpreted to contradict the message from Mr Johnson.
Chief Medical Adviser Professor Chris Whitty and Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Patrick Vallance have been pushing for tighter restrictions.
Mr Sunak and Professor Whitty, along with Mr Johnson, are trying to balance the need to protect the economy and lives, with the two men in a 'bidding war' over what would cause the least damage, The Sun reported.
Chairman of the backbench 1922 Committee Sir Graham Brady has led the opposition to Ministers 'ruling by decree' over Covid regulations.
Mr Sunak is making increasing objections from within the Cabinet to the restrictions.

Mr Johnson was forced to mediate between Mr Sunak and the pro-lockdown lobby led by Health Secretary Matt Hancock and Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove in the run-up to his decision last week to impose a 10pm curfew on pubs and restaurants.
At a Covid ‘quad’ meeting on September 18 – Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab is the other member – Mr Sunak effectively blocked Mr Johnson when he proposed a two-week ‘circuit-breaking’ lockdown.
Mr Sunak's Winter Economy Plan includes a scheme to top up the pay of people who can only work part-time in 'viable jobs'.
It replaces the furlough scheme, which sees the Government top up the wages for employees who cannot work.
It also involves further VAT cuts for the hospitality and retail sectors and the extension of emergency loan schemes for struggling businesses.
MPs will be granted a vote on Mr Johnson's controversial 'rule of six' on October 6, in a win for more than 40 Tory rebels MPs.
Downing Street insisted there is no rift at the top of Government, but Tory MPs are growing increasingly uneasy over the Government's move to impose sweeping restrictions without Parliament voting on them.

Maybe this means I'll be able to spend christmas back home with my family, instead of being locked up in this shithole of a town.

It's always the chancellor that brings down a PM, one way or another. Holding the purse strings brings a lot of power.

Wrong.

COVID-19 is primarily fought off with a T-cell response (just like other coronaviruses, who could have guessed?); the whole angle of "no lasting immunity" comes from a small number of studies that found that antibodies only last six months. However, 1) nothing has come out (to my knowledge) regarding how long T-cells remain active and/or capable of recognizing the strain 2) the body can always MAKE MORE ANTIBODIES. The whole point of a vaccine is to teach the body how to make the proper antibodies so that the real deal virus doesn't get a head-start.

Furthermore, if "no immunity for most people who get it" were the situation then we would be seeing at least hundreds of thousands of "reinfections" alongside the millions of cases. Instead we are seeing double digits of "maybe reinfection, maybe false test results".

You don't have to present with a fever to be carrying the virus

Same with the flus, common colds, etc.

Holy fuck, I love these.

The first is standard SocJus dribble, complete with trite metaphors. "Stitch a new garment" is good... for a creative 5th grader.

The second is an ostentatious and utterly shameless display of privilege from a pampered (almost certainly white, KITTY) American leftist who thinks that a) everyone lives in a nice, cozy home and b) everyone has a white collar job that can be done remotely, so no fear of economic ruin, am I rite? Yes, Kitty, the mom who suddenly has to educate and constantly entertain her 5 kids is "meditating" and "healing" right now...

But the third is the absolute best. This one is essentially arguing for a return to the traditionalist ethno-state, where multi-generational homes, elder worship, and homesteading are the norm. Indigents and severely mentally ill ("houseless") people are warehoused in special buildings ("hotels," what a great euphemism!), away from the productive masses.

SJW wanted a hippy utopia... got the rural Balkans instead wow

It really has been just the most subtle form of self-induced schizophrenia, hasn't it? Watching all of these opportunistic faggots break themselves in a loop of smugly shitting on anybody else's attempts to perpetuate or even DARE to entertain normalcy because Misery ADORES Company; while in the VERY same breath support the nonstop cluster of bodies rioting in the streets like it would protect them. I'm so FUCKING tired of being talked down to by these people, I have never held more hatred for my fellow man than now.
