    So do you think lockdowns are effective?

    Yes. I think staying home and locking everything down will be effective at stopping the spread.

    It will always come back when you get back to normal life though, so the lockdowns have to pretty much be permanent until an effective vaccine is available.

    They are effective for destroying small businesses.

    Pretty much what I thought...funny that you believe lockdowns are effective, but masks are not.

    We decided today to go into even more of a bubble and lockdown over the holidays no matter what the govt says...I figure it's my best chance at minimizing risk given my heart issues. Got my heart meds for the next 3 months in the mail yesterday so I don't even need to go pick those up now....time to work on my book and master some guitar pieces

    Between small businesses and human lives, which one is replaceable?

    Outdoor recreation and sports programs, including Pac-12 college football games, are also exempt.

    ALSO:

    The governor’s orders stipulate social gatherings, both indoor and outdoor, should be limited to six people from “no more than two households.”

    1. We have it under control

    2. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine

    3. Only 5 people in the US, all in good recovery

    4. No request for ANY emergency funding

    5. We have contained this, I won’t say airtight, but it’s pretty close to airtight.

    6. We’re going to be pretty soon at only five people. And we could be at just one or two people over the next short period of time.

    7. It’s going to disappear, One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.
