What is your point? Do you want a source?

That you did not scientifically determine for yourself that which you claimed. So, thanks for your just now having admitted my point.

By "Do you want a source?", what you're asking me is if I want to take their word for it--those whose word you take for it. No: I won't be taking their, or your, word for anything.

Actually, we do understand the measures in place, the ramifications of such and are kinda tired of repeatedly explaining such to someone who is either a kid or for some reason acting like one.

You decrepit, feeble-minded codger (or, at least, you actor portraying a decrepit, feeble-minded codger on TOL), maybe there was a time when you could have understood something as simple as the fact that lockdowns and curfews are bans against people leaving their homes--but if there was, clearly those days are now long gone. Only abject idiots can call the granting of permission to leave home at will a "lockdown"; but that's exactly what you've been doing.

Yeah, I need to replace me zimmer frame soon cos some of the wheels have fallen off...

In grown up news, the lockdown measures in several countries are available to peruse and understand and yet for some reason you still can't grasp them.

Ho hum...

LOL

It's funny that you call granting people permission to drive automobiles a "lockdown measure", but refuse to call banning people from leaving their homes a "lockdown measure". Is that just far-advanced senility on your part, or is somebody heavily lacing your Geritol with Quaaludes?

Well, didn't actually say any of that to start with and actually explained things to you in the most simplistic of terms in the hopes of you understanding it, on repeated occasions. My bad...

LOL @ lying Arthur Brain.

It's funny how you try to dignify your farting in TOL posts by calling it "explaining".

Michael Levitt, a professor of structural biology at Stanford, and the winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for "the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems" is saying that the lock down around the world was unneeded and may actually backfire.

Meh......

I don't think Michael Levitt is a believer in the Creation, so I don't know why you are quoting him.

You do t trust any evolutionists. All coming back to night you, eh?
Duh.....

Now, since you're on this thread, do you think the lock down was necessary or not?
Yes?
No?

I'll give my own opinion of it. In the US, some measure of lockdown was necessary to slow the spread of the virus, but social distancing measures have been halfhearted. Consequently, I think the US could have followed the Sweden model and would have experienced no significant uptick in illness or death rates.

Of course, we should have followed the South Korea model, but this is the US. We aren't smart or sophisticated enough to do that.

Trouble is/was, no country was ready for this pandemic and every affected country has gone through a learning curve. At this point of experience each country would probably have responded differently in various ways. We in the UK definitely would have.

It's not that simple. You are creating a false dichotomy (or at least trying to).

No I'm not.......... asking 'yes' or 'no' might just have a chance of receiving more concise answers, is all.
So what do you think?
Have you got any ideas?
