VOX Is Pushing Lockdowns Again. Because Liberals.

Just when you thought the pandemic bullcrap was starting to somewhat fizzle and fade off into your brain’s file cabinet in a folder labeled WTF WAS ALL THAT NONSENSE?, I give you the flaming libs at Vox:

I suppose you have to give them at least a little bit of credit for still trying. Commies are gonna commie, right? In that “article” above, they actually praised China for its lockdown strategy. They PRAISED them, y’all.

Here’s a morsel of lunacy:

Lockdowns aren’t a popular public health strategy when strung out for long periods of time. But that doesn’t mean they can’t be a useful option in the pandemic playbook. Lockdowns cannot contain a disease like Covid-19 indefinitely — especially more contagious variants — but they can mitigate the spread and give public health leaders time to prepare for other aspects of their pandemic response, such as vaccinations. The public health lessons learned from the end of China’s zero-Covid era might be some of the most important in preparing for future pandemics and learning how to live with diseases.

Meanwhile, in China a few months back….

But listen, Vox, you just keep hating freedom and whatnot. By all means, go lock yourselves in a closet or something. That would be a giant win for all of America.

    A lock down, or more so a quarantine of the infected areas, could have prevented the spread if it was implemented properly.
    The monkey pox outbreak could have been solved in short order very easily with one at any time since the transmission vectors were limited.
    CoVid could have but our actual response was the exact opposite of how it should have been handled to achieve that goal. Sadly it was more a matter of timing than of the ideas being bad as the time we started to do something it was well past the time when it’s implementation would have had the desired effect. Isolating a group of people you think is infected can be a good tool but once you have to assume that everyone is your best strategy is to try to isolate those who are most susceptible and let everyone else continue on until you develop natural herd immunity.

    Just a couple of weeks to flatten the curve, eh. Where have I heard that? I know, we could give everyone at home some stimulus money. I’m sure when the time comes, they’ll be excited to go back to the workplace in person.
