This is a process, to learn how to deal with this new virus.
One of the problems with lockdowns, is people didn't do it. If you declare lockdowns and people are going on about their business as usual, they don't work.
Anecdotally, people I know who followed the protocols didn't get COVID, and people who did, had violated the protocols in a pretty glaring way. And anecdote is singular for data, so there's that.
Exactly, how did the USA have any lockdown without banning international travel? We should have immediately banned all commercial flights to Europe and Asia but we never did.
Only thing that got locked down was dinner, everything in NYC is open except restaurants. People complaining about restaurants being closed just makes us look fat.

The time for a true lockdown was when this all began. We never had a true lockdown in any state. We had partial restrictions of varying degrees and even then many didn't follow those restrictions.
Why do you think people are not catching it from flying or public transportation, because airplanes and subway cars have air exchange systems, the air is exchanged every 3-4 minutes
But I'm not stopping you from eating inside a restaurant, you go enjoy

Yes and they seem to be learning a lot right before January 20

Currently, we are in a situation where elective surgeries aren't being performed, and our schools are being told to close.
We are learning a lot. This isn't over.
See ya back here on Jan. 21 and we'll discuss whether this was political or not, or whether we're still experiencing increased hospitalization and COVID protocol.
A week before Biden's inauguration and a study is released announcing that lockdowns don't work, Cuomo comes out and says that New York can't stay closed, and the mayor of Chicago is urging restaurants to open ASAP. We are supposed to believe that the timing is coincidental.
Lockdowns are effective if you are really doing a lockdown. We never had that anywhere in the US. It was always a haphazard mish mash of conflicting rules and enforcements across different states and municipalities. There are other nations that did implement a true lockdown, and the virus was suppressed. That is easy to see. Look up Perth Aus. or New Zealand or Vietnam. Lockdowns do work.
Not even going to get into masks. You can find studies from any major university, hospital, or research institution that proves masks are effective in slowing transmission. To deny this is denying basic science that you learn when you are a child.
