More to this than just deaths. Long term damage, hospital overcrowding are two things to consider

im skeptical of long term effects because every single paper ive seen about them has been retracted like a week later

here's a great article from BMJ that talks about the politicization of science during the pandemic

I agree effectiveness of lockdowns is still debated, but seems clear death rate is not that important compared to hospitalization rate and rate of infection

Time to lock the country down for 2 months man

S*** is ridiculously

Sick of these dumb anti mask people

Shut your dumb ass up

Niggas are complaining about their holidays being taken when people are dying and hospitals are overwhelmed

there is zero compelling evidence population wide lockdowns work lol meanwhile we do know they cause suicides, encourage domestic violence, take kids of schools and kill the economy

Not even gonna respond to that dumb ass

problem is half of the country thinks like this so we have to deal with them

1,260 deaths reported on a Saturday, good work america

Depends on who coughs on them

Niggas killing themselves cuz they can’t stay at the crib? Not sure if that’s a lockdown problem as much as it is a mental health one my guy

Mans said stayin home encourages domestic violence ???

He did politicize the virus tho

The damage is done

He did, but it doesn't mean we should keep being irresponsible while blaming everything on him. Get what I mean? We all know he's the worst in regards to this pandemic, but we should be doing better if we truly know better. Hating Trump doesn't give us a free pass. We're not children. It shouldn't take a mandated lockdown for us to take precautions.

My guy. If people can’t stay home without beating their partners idk what to tell you

I wouldn't say encourages, but a rise in domestic violence cases during lockdown was actually a thing.

I’m not denying this. Not sure how y’all can’t see that it’s a clear mental health problem tho. People can blame a lockdown all they want.

Yeah it's definitely a mental health problem and It's super f***ed up when you got nowhere else to go.

Only group of people I don't empathise with are those who complain about lockdown because "it's a violation of their rights"

and what do you think is driving the mental health problem?

maybe its the gov forbidding people from socializing while they lose their jobs because of covid restrictions and on top of that live in fear 24/7 cuz all the media does is fear monger about covid
