Time for another three years of lockdowns. (I hope not)

[vkou]

My town had three months of lockdowns, followed by (so far!) three years of complaining about lockdowns.

(If I live long enough, I expect to hear thirty three more years of complaining about lockdowns.)

In case anyone is curious, it appears the location in question had three months of "stay at home", over a year of other restrictions (including school closures), 625 days of broad mask requirements, and so forth. In fact, some mask requirements are still in effect today.

People will downvote you because they are tired of these same lies and the people who spread them.

Vaccines and mass masking work.

Lockdowns not so much:

"Overall, our meta-analysis fails to confirm the notion that lockdowns – at least in the spring of 2020 – had a large, significant effect on mortality rates. Studies examining the relationship between lockdown strictness (based on the OxCGRT stringency index) find that the average lockdown in Europe and the United States only reduced COVID-19 mortality by 3.2% compared to the most lenient COVID-19 policy. Shelter-in-place orders (SIPOs) were also ineffective" (p. 58)
