I encourage you to think more about this. You still didn't answer the question. Don't cop out. Let's say for the sake of argument, every single covid death is 100% attributable to covid and nothing else. 250k. And you might say it would be a lot higher than that if not for masking, social distancing and lockdowns. Well a simple way to test that is to look at places that did not lock down. The dakotas didn't, florida has lifted all covid restrictions for about two months now, and Sweden never locked down at all. They do not have alarmingly higher rates of death.

Now consider the collateral effects of locking down. Small businesses, restaurants, bars, mom and pop stores have been forced to permanently close as a result. Those are human beings with families. Is this worth it? Is this response justified when you consider those people? It's ironic because now everybody is buying from big box corporations. Amazon is getting rich as hell, walmart, target, google. The left used to be opposed to these things. Apparently now it is punk rock and rebellious to make rich people richer and poor people poorer! Also depression, suicide, alcoholism, drug addiction are all way up. These all tax the medical infrastructure as well. It's a really simple cost\benefit analysis, and I'm asking you why you think the cost is worth the benefit with regard to covid.

It's easy to just lap up whatever daddy media tells you is correct and not question it, but nothing is ever that simple, and when you think critically and skeptically about what is happening it makes less and less sense.

Dude you are honestly just like a bad person. All forum shit talking aside, I wouldn’t usually call someone a bad person but based on all of your comments you are really just that. You’re a selfish, self interested individual who parrots right wing shit and has no consideration for anyone who has been harmed (or will be harmed) by the downplaying and politicization from people like you and your misinformation-providing sources.

You are honestly just a bad person.

Someone has a difference in opinion, which is similar to that shared by the people of Sweden and you just label them as a bad person. Talk about intellectual laziness.

Sweden didn't have to lock down because they aren't Americans. Average Americans are dumb as fucking fuck. Wearing a mask isn't the same as being a slave, as being told to do do by a Nazi regime, or anything else. It's laughably pathetic. We could have avoided most lockdowns entirely if people just wore masks and distanced, but no, "muh freedoms". But apparently being asked to wear a mask to prevent the spread of a disease to your fellow citizen is too much. Fucking dumbasses.

Do what the government tells you to. They know best.

Sounds the like opinion of a commie.
