Do you belie there a chance in any level that we do lockdown policy even slightly near China or Vietnam scale?

tl;dl IIRC, (I was doing something else at the time) basically matt says the only thing that would have gotten us out of the pandemic was a national lockdown (a real one like China did) and that door is closed because there is zero political will to do it, so what were collectively "doing" now as a solution is patting ourselves on the back for doing the right things (getting the vaccine, wearing masks while continuing to live as normal) and spurning the "bad" people dying in droves over the governments abject failure to respond appropriately

Yeah America is never locking down. Florida and a few other states made it illegal to do so.

Once there was no lock down after the initial wave it was game over.

e: Politically. There are ways to actually do this of course but that moment is long gone.

It’s hard not to feel bad for the people who want to do zero-COVID practices because just living through the time when that kind of thing was even possible will paint your thinking for the rest of it, but it’s so widespread now there is no way whatsoever we will ever truly be rid of it. At this point with the way the virus has mutated, we will eradicate any progress a lockdown would accomplish in a month. The “lockdowns” we had in March 2020 weren’t even enough considering we were all still allowed to go to the grocery store or whatever, and even that was further than this country was even truly willing to go considering it lasted all of six weeks.

I still don’t like the statement from the Biden administration because of the fact that a lot of unvaccinated people are that way for economic reasons (they aren’t aware it’s free, they don’t have the means to go to even a local pharmacy, they’re homeless, etc.) but Matt’s logic is sound enough it’s not really worth raising an objection to.

Yeah, I don't think people are mad about the Biden statement because it's mean, they're mad because it throws children and the immunocompromised in the same group as anti-vaxxers and tells them they're all hosed, and ignores the fact that vaccinated people are at risk too, and is just a complete abrogation of the idea that the federal government should do anything at all to try to control an epidemic that's been killing 1,000 people a day,

the statement didnt do that

I think I like it. Not sure what "natural immunity" is, though.

I would definitely be willing to wear a WWI gas mask, especially if I had to go on a plane.

see this is what it means when people say we're long past the point of no return.

Like, let's pretend this is an 'ideal' situation for the context and every single person there is traveling for an essential reason, the fact that those reasons still exist in such large numbers is the core issue not getting smug about a ~non CDC approved mask~ and poo poo, but we're so loving beaten down and hopeless we turn the anger we should be feeling to the government against others, so this dumb rear end in a top hat spends her time making performative 'LOOK HOW MUCH BETTER I'M DOING THE PANDEMIC THAN THE PLEBES, LOOK HOW MUCH I CARE, I CARE SO MUCH MORE THAN THEM' poo poo.

We're not fixing this until the core problems are addressed, scolding some other miserable piece of poo poo because their exception to the rules is different than yours won't do anything!

no she's 100% a pervert but just the general vibe of spending more time being angry at a rando not wearing a mask you approve of than being angry that both of you have to be out during a plague because the government isn't going to support you and you can't afford to miss work is the same root issue.

Nobody’s saying not to wear a mask we’re saying that it’s too late for zero-COVID policies to be effective and living your life like you still can is just rituals you perform to make yourself feel better about the fact that you’re still flying out to see your family.
