@vivify saidI asked if being locked down protects you.
It would be much higher without lockdowns.
We all know that the vast majority of people who die from this are 65 or older. We were locked down to protect them, but it does not seem to be helping.
Nursing Homes everywhere are still be ravaged by the virus. Has the lockdown worked?
@eladar saidNY is trending downward in both reported cases and deaths. So yes.

No.
Even if Amazon delivers all your needs, touching the goods or your US mail can be dangerous.
PS: A nurse I know that works in a nursing home has had the facility on lockdown for a long time. One day one patient got CV (presumably by a nurse or other worker) and now half the facility has it. Some deaths, too.
So much for "lockdown". As wee know it, lockdown slows down the infection rate. It doesn't stop it.

@vivify saidSaves lives? Prolongs the inevitable? Which in the general context of things is a very small proportion of of the population.

"Lockdowns save lives. The evidence is clear around the world."
Then the question is how many people are killed because of the shut down.
At best the lockdown is shifting who gets killed. At worst no lives are saved, only more people are killed.

In NZ the goobermint has given a $50 000 000 bribe to NZ media to say nice things about how they handled the virus. Of all the industries needing a goobermint handout during a pandemic the media are the last, if anything pandemics are good for business.
All media that received the filthy money should be boycotted into the ground.
@eladar saidI've noticed none of you right-wingers have any stats to back up this claim, only assertions have many you think will be affected. Until you have actual stats, this line of logic is useless trash.

Fact: over 72,000 people died in only 5 months.
@vivify saidFact is within 10 years practically all deaths would be dead people anyhow.

Fact is, there is no proof anyone was saved. Fact is people sheltering at home are getting sick. Fact is that covid is running through retirement homes anyhow.
