Were COVID lockdowns good or bad?

Question

Check out this video. Were COVID lockdowns good or bad? Were they effective?

ohsheeT · Accepted Answer

Well here I go again LOL
5G was turned on in China 3 days before it was known about covid
Thousands of scientists from all over the world stated if they turn on 5G this is what was going to happen every symptom that covid has is what the scientist told the president of the United States and higher ups all over the world the exact same symptoms

And this time went by and all these billions of people are dying all the hospitals are full

Well there wasn't enough people dying because that's when America turned on their 5G and people started dying again blah blah blah

And then there was a break we could almost take off our mask but wait we have to turn 5G on in our rule and outer areas of our cities oops
Everybody put back on their mask hospitals are full again

Well I had to see for myself so I went down to the hospitals there's three of them in town and in every hospital it was quiet as could be

I went down to a plumbing outfit that is one of the biggest anywhere everywhere in the country over 500 to 2,000 people walk in and out the doors every single day at the door there's a girl standing with a thermometer before you can walk in the door she's going to take your temperature if your temperature is high you're going to be turned away
Every time I went into that store I asked her how many people she has turned away she said not one

You would think with that many people in the hospitals so many people dying that they're at would be at least one person that they would have to turn away but there wasn't one to the whole duration

And then if you had cancer if you got in a car accident if you got shot if you died from natural causes if you're hit right in a bicycle on your death certificate it stated that you died of covid-19 which was b*******

If you look back many years ago from G2 G3 G4 every time that they turned that system up higher there were deaths people would die
If you go back 15 years ago and look in your local newspaper when they had it my newspaper every year would say this many people died in the city this year 500 because of car accidents 200 gunshot wounds 300 bicycle accidents 2000 cancer and every year they would have this and it would equal the bay about 3,500 people. In the years of covid less people died of all natural causes as a matter of fact nobody died of anyone I've stated the above they all died of covid-19 but get this every year is around the same total of people but it was less people when covid was around cuz people took care of themselves they put mask on

But it's all okay because everybody got to pay vacation ever got to play on their electronic devices or if you played any games there was a third party it would take your information that was the United States government

We all have our own theories do you know that it takes only 14 days of being told the same thing over and over to be brainwashed do you know that there are people to this day still wearing masks because they were brainwashed

Whether there was covid whether it was 5G whether it was somebody trying to destroy our economy it was all still alll a lie no matter which way you look at it
Or let me say it a little bit better it just wasn't the truth

But in your city every two blocks you have a 5G Tower or up against a wall someplace it's a military weapon in the wrong hands all it would take is somebody that knows how to run that thing turn it on full blast and it will start burning everybody's skin they could not get away from it but every city has them almost every country has that there were five countries that were smart and said no we're not going to do this to our people NATO anyway I've said it before
For whatever the reasons it made people poor everything has made people more poor there's less food there's less this there's less than and pretty soon we have to give up our money to our new bank the government which will control everything even more

So what was the question before did I believe in Santa Claus of course I do

Good or bad doesn't matter, the question is wether they were effective in slowing down the spread of covid and what would have happened if there wasn't a lockdown.

reds-noro · Accepted Answer

They were fairly effective. However, the lockdown getting removed and reinstated regularly, despite being necessary for the public and economy, really hampered it. Doesn't necessarily make it good though. Many people have suffered from it. The Dutch government just shouldn't have lied about certain measures. Said the lockdown would last a week or 2. As Covid-19 had very similar symptoms to the common cold and Influenza (which can also cause the common cold) and the way it worked was very similar as well it was quite easy to predict that it would take a substantial amount of time for people to adapt and for the virus to weaken in intensity. Now Covid is like Influenza. They should've told everyone that cloth and paper masks protect you and the person you are speaking with. Air got redirected to behind you. Covid vaccins were never going to be a permanent solution. Again, Covid is very similar to Influenza, elderly get flu shots every year with the main intention of protecting them from the flu during fall and winter.

It's so weird how my government handled things. Even the opposition didn't try to figure out the truth. They just kept on yelling 'freedom' and 'hoax' as the idiots that they are.

Covid lockdowns were pretty good for limiting stress on hospitals and making Covid variants that had weak symptoms more prominent while isolating and preventing the spread of more dangerous variant... but it was awful for many individuals and the economy.

All this information is readily available to researchers and health experts, yet they lied about the effectiveness of certain measures and how the measures were actually supposed to help. Why? To get more people to follow the measures. It's so stupid. There would be so much less resistance if they were just honest.

BasedBaeBecca · Accepted Answer

The COVID-19 lockdowns have had both positives and negatives. While they did help reduce the spread of the virus, they also had devastating consequences on people's mental and financial well-being. People had to stay home for extended periods of time, limiting their social interactions and sources of entertainment. Many lost their jobs and experienced significant financial hardship as a result. However, some people also benefited from the lockdowns, as they allowed more time for self-reflection, spending quality time with family members, and the chance to explore other hobbies. The extent to which lockdowns were ‘good’ or ‘bad’ depends on individuals’ circumstances.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

This confirms my suspicions, and I suspect that lockdowns were pushed because those on the left seize every opportunity to control the population. They are trying to groom us to be obedient sheep and to accept government directions without questions or skepticism.

I do believe that most on the left are well intended

we know where that leads, don't we? And there are some on the left, a minority, who I believe have malicious intent and evil lurks in their hearts.

Levin · Answer

A patent and very predictable disaster. Now excess deaths seem to be still through the roof in many Western countries, still 11% in the UK. All faith and trust is lost in our scientific and political institutions. UK debt is now 100% of gdp. Life has become a misery economically, with the upcoming generations, fucked. Housing has become extortionate. How many times a salary is a house now in the UK? Something like 9 times? It's fucking stupid. Child mental health, destroyed, I can't even remember the figures but they are grotesque.

The key word and concept totally missed from all the analysis is fear. Fear was peddled, and fear was the mechanism sought to control the population, 'lower their vibration', and make them completely susceptible to any nonsense and propaganda.

The problem is, we had the population splitting in two different directions. We have a sizeable chunk of the population that are totally out of sync with the natural order of things and the environment, who require some technocratic 'expert' to tell them what to do and how to look after their health. And we have another group of people that recognise that health largely comes from you yourself taking responsibility for it. Not being a fat bastard helps, too. A wider taking responsibility for one's own life has largely become forgotten as more and more people become comfortable, entranced by the media, and enjoy the government's handouts of tax payers hard working money. What a bunch of pathetic easily led slobs we are.

electromagnetic · Answer

The lockdowns were fun in the sense that people who weren’t in their country got away with a lot.
I was living in the UK at the time and while everyone was home isolating, I have put and about literally exploring on my own doing whatever I wanted with no consequences. I was asked multiple times where I was off to by officials and I just said, to my Airbnb because I didn’t have anywhere to stay permanently.
I don’t know about other countries but in Canada and the UK, they were not done effectively and efficiently. The perk was not having to work.

Drewtate · Answer

For most people no. I think we all get a sense that the whole lock down was a giant social experiment to test how far populations globally could be pushed and how far people would go to comply. Possibly a biological warfare experiment to, testing how far and fast an epidemic could spread.

I dont believe there was any real danger from covid or that vaccines were necessary. The vast majority of those who died here in the US had preexisting medical conditions such as obesity or diabetes or were of advanced age. Covid was more like the flu, and more people died of the flu each year than of covid.

Pfizer made a killing from the pandemic, pure profit. Research funded by taxpayers who then had to pay for the vaccine. Anyone who questioned the vaccine was silenced or labelled as crazy and racist. CNN sponsored by Pfizer.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

The lockdowns were good in some ways & bad in others. As for me it was business as usual & I was required to report to work & did. The good news was that there wasn’t any traffic, accidents & crime was down & stock went on sale when the market took a dump. The bad news was a lot of businesses closed, people lost their jobs, businesses changed their hours & never went back to regular hours. The toilet paper shortage sucked too. Air quality was amazing & in parts of the world people could actually see mountains in this distance.

purplepoppy · Answer

Bad because they were not done properly. There were far to many loopholes around them and deliberately ignored by too many people anyway. We all know people who knowingly went to other towns when they had covid yet we had police on horses searching beaches at night for people fishing. It was a farce based on halfarsed measures

I would have divided the country into small zone and tested everyone in each every week. I would allow travel between adjoining unaffected zones only. If a neighbouring zone had covid then I would have increased biosecurity further. For those who really did have essential reason to travel then I would have had compulsory regular tests or even just kept them closer to their place of work.

exitseven · Answer

They were bad. It was partially used to create chaos to enable the democrats to steal the election. The teachers unions used it to get a two year paid vacation and certain companies like big box stores got rich and small businesses were not allowed to operate. Thousands have closed and stayed closed.

Kids have fallen behind in school and there is no plan to help them catch up. They will somple be passed along until the graduate. The standards will be dismally low and everyone will get a diploma whether they can read or not.

goaded · Answer

Do something that might make a difference, or do nothing in case it doesn't? I prefer doing something.

"Only" 39,000 deaths avoided? Seriously? Some people might consider that a success. Also, afaics, insisting on masks, while not insisting on FFP2/N95, medical masks, or even multiple cloth layers counts as a "lockdown". Nobody thought a single layer of cloth would do much, but a few layers would help until production of proper masks ramped up.

Christ, I remember a conversation with an asshole who thought the whole thing was overblown (while numbers were rising exponentially). I don't know if he thought a million Americans was OK, but I suspect that factored into his Republican calculations, as long as they were old. "Tell me exactly what we will know in six months time" rings a bell, like we'd have known less.

Friendlybro79 · Answer

Without getting deep into it or arguing with anyone over their opinion, I think effective or ineffective is what you mean. Good or bad is means something else.

I think it was a good idea in the beginning but quickly turned bad in the eyes of people that didn't agree with it.

I think it was also ineffective because it couldn't be implemented in the real world. Many people still went about doing what they wanted and when which is why it continued to spread.

We won't ever know if it would have worked because too many people didn't follow the guidelines we were given. They couldn't even wear a mask properly so even though I think logically it made sense to have something in place to stop the spread, in the future, I say let natural selection do its thing.

genericname85 · Answer

there was no single good aspect to them. they did absolutely no good whatsoever, cause the infection rates did not go down. so there's not even a "coincidence", let alone a correlation or causation between lockdowns and infection rates. so there were no benefits. meaning the only effect they had were the negative ones on peoples health and the economy.

Avicenna · Answer

They were an absolute disaster (kudos to Sweden for not doing them). They caused huge economic and psychological damage and created huge holes in schoolchildren's education.

And the medical/public health effects of the so-called vaccines remain to be seen.

rigmarole · Answer

With any contagion all you can do is an initial quarantine at the very start. Once it is in, it's in... Beyond the first week or two of observation it was medically pointless. It was a political science measure past that point designed to destroy and economy and subjugate a population under a tyrannical agenda.

Anonymous · Answer

They were NECESSARY to save lives. My state was 1 of only 5 states that NEVER locked down. There were several urban centers across the country who's medical systems got stretched to thier breaking point. The locked down wasn't to STOP the virus. Anyone who thought that didn't understand what was happening. After a certain point stopping the spread was impossible. But by locking people down. Minimizing the exposure you could slow the spread and better ensure people got the best medical care possible for the situation.

I was unlucky to break my ankle at work because I was one of the "essential workers"🤣 (essential is just another word for expendable. My job wasn't that important). I caught covid from somebody infected on one of my preoperative apps. I know this because I didn't go anywhere else for a month because I couldn't walk (as I had already broken my other foot previously and it wasn't fully healed... I had a run of bad luck🤣).

Lliam · Answer

It's true. "The number of lives saved were a drop in the bucket compared to the staggering collateral costs imposed."
And I think the 100% deliberate collateral costs were planned as early as 2014. It was actually Bill Gates' idea and he sold it to the WHO and the elated WEF. It was all for profit, and causing death was a bonus.

menina · Answer

They were bad in the sense that people couldn't be together. People who had mental illnesses felt worse and in most cases they didn't get the treatment they needed. Domestic violence cases increased. Some people had problems with working or studying from home.

But they were also good because they stopped the spreading of Covid. There are several studies that prove the effectiveness of lockdowns. If it wasn't for them, more people would get sick and more would die.

UniquelyBasic · Answer

It was both good and bad.

Good in that it stopped people from spreading covid more than it did.

And bad in that it kept people in their homes for a while. Some people probably didn't have anybody to talk to when they would've benefited from some social interaction.

chrissykerdock · Answer

i think someone was looking to destroy our economy to make someone look bad... in the aftermath you find out this was a plan to hurt us... and maybe covid was devloped thanks to the very very rich

Anonymous · Answer

It was good in the sense it kept people who you didn't want to see away. It also meant, many of us didn't have to worry about crowed supermarkets. It also showed how the government would punish the suburbs where they were known to not vote for that current government, so we got to see through their bullcrap lies.

It was also bad in the sense it did drive many people crazy, it also had people turning against each other.

AngryCarl2 · Answer

UK here. They were very bad form a mental health point of view, particularly for children. How effective they might have been if applied according to the known science, I wouldn't dare to speculate. I look forward to the forthcoming public inquiry with interest.

ShesRad80 · Answer

for me it had no real effect- i was an essential healthcare worker and worked through it but it was insane.

Sour-rose · Answer

To me, they were great. Not because you HAVE to stay home, but because of how quiet the roads were. And businesses. Just... quietness as if the world closed. It was a time I'll probably never experience again.

RobT312 · Answer

Obviously they were bad in social and economic ways. the real question is did they save lives while a vaccine was developed? I think they did, and I think most studies found they did. For that reason they were good, But came at a huge cost.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Without watching the video! It was a bad bad BAD idea to do lockdowns, and to top that and make it even worse, wearing masks.

Sirenboobzilla · Answer

One thing it did was prove just how many jobs can be done from the comfort of your own home. Also made the roads safer. My truck drivers saved quite a bit on fuel by not having to deal with traffic

ItsChloe · Answer

Well for me, I found the Covid lockdowns good because I started my OnlyFans in the first lockdown and now I’ve got more than enough money to be set for life and then some.

Amy10223 · Answer

They were good, dammit.  countries who followed protocols had less people dying. Those who didn’t and had people breaking rules made it spread more.

nolabels · Answer

The COVID lockdowns were much worse than COVID itself in terms of the functioning of the world.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I think good overall. It may have saved some lives.

ButthurtGAGpeople1 · Answer

It didn't matter to me. I had a job still. I worked from home, until they said, we should go back. I still think it was better working from home at this point buttttt, it's whatever

kerrieK001 · Answer

They were a really bad decision in my opinion

Anonymous · Answer

I don't know how it would have gone in the UK without them but I think there were one or two too many. The main reason we had them was to slow down speed of transmission. If we believe the NHS was at risk of overload then we can conclude they were successful. Since politicians were lying routinely, not sure what the reality was. Still, it did herald work from home though which I love so not all bad.

jamesgoldman · Answer

For preventing the spread they didn't really work For allowing my business to grow and let me do a lot of reading they were great
