What puzzles me is they seem to think it wouldn't have been any worse if we had done nothing.

This is the frustrating part about the whole thing and I said it on March 15th when our office closed down. 

I knew that once the closures were effective, the covidiots would claim victory when they fought it every step of the way.

By telling them they should hide in their basements as if they were the least important people.  It's not just the part of your thread title where you state facts don't care about feelings that underscores your apparent lack of sincerity or compassion. Your oft-repeated concern for the vulnerable sounds like a bunch of self-serving hooey.
No, but my generally staying home, or avoiding high risk situations.  Why is everybody hiding in their basements more accessible to you?

Paucisymptomatic, presymptomatic, asymptomatic. It all boils down to the same thing if they are infectious and not showing symptoms.
I’m not sure who they are, but they’re not correct.  That’s certainly not something that I’ve ever advocated for.  I see we’re back to false choices and fake arguments again.

The only covidiots are the ones ignoring the science and making policy based on fear and feelings.  I swear the world has been operating on feelings without logic and reason for the last several months.

Too bad you are completely incapable of describing the "science" you speak of. When you try, it appears to just be your "feelings". I'll continue to stick with epediomologists over conspiracy theorists who think Rogers is personally targeting their FoxNews cable subscription.

I’ve consistently posted links to science based information.  Perhaps you should start at page 1.

Exactly.  Facebook says we’re all gonna die! 

You should start reading this thread from page 1 as well.

New study, which should’ve been obvious from the start. Hopefully this will be policy going forward, instead of the disastrous one size fits all approach that panic and fear led to in the first place.

Targeted Lockdowns Are Better
A new study finds they save more lives and do less economic damage

This is not wanting to do nothing.

You think you have but you seem not to have read them yourself because they often wind up contradicting your argument. And when that is pointed out, you never have the credibility to clarify or retract your erroneous information.

This is what real "fake news" is. Not the actual journalism you cite when they have the credibility to retract something because it may be misinterpreted.

That’s just not true.

Targeted lockdowns of China worked so well.  ::)

If you only lock down certain areas then the people in those areas will leave. Much like Europeans flocked to North America after hearing travel would be restricted.

People flocked to other areas before anything was even known about the virus.  They didn’t practice any kind of mitigation and distancing.  I’m not at all against the initial stay at home orders.  But at some point life needs to go on.  People need to return to work, practicing the proper protocols.  You can’t wait for a vaccine. There may NEVER be a vaccine.  And SCIENCE tells us that relatively health people have a very tiny chance of dying.  In some cases, statistically zero.  Thankfully most countries, provinces, states have realized that.  Phased in openings are happening regardless of the continued alarmists.
