And don't forget the tens of thousands of The Greatest Generation doomed b y wrong-headed Democrat governors packing their nursing homes with known Covid carriers, despite ( OR BECASUE OF?) them being the highest risk group....who ALMOST NEVER VOTED DEMOCRAT.
What a coincidence...
The COVID lockdown scolds killed people — but they still have no shame
“You horrible scolds killed people. You should be forever ashamed.”
That was the reaction of a friend on Facebook to a new University of Virginia Health study showing suicide attempts by overdose among children rose sharply during the pandemic. And, of course, he’s right.
It was about three years ago that we were told we should lock things down for “two weeks to slow the spread.”
The initial argument seemed plausible — shutter for a bit to slow transmission of the Chinese coronavirus now known as COVID-19 just enough that hospitals and other health-care facilities could handle the surge.
Would a two-week lockdown have helped? We don’t know because we got something closer to two years.
~ Meanwhile, studies keep coming out indicating all sorts of harm from these so-called “non-pharmaceutical interventions” during COVID.
~ Though these interventions didn’t do much to reduce COVID death rates — Sweden, which avoided lockdowns, did better than the nations that pursued them — there’s considerable evidence they caused increased numbers of deaths from heart attacks, obesity, mental-health problems, drug overdoses and the like.
People who because of their age were at very low risk from COVID died at much higher-than-normal rates from these other causes as a result of the disruption of normal life, the cutoff of normal social-support networks and, of course, the endless miasma of fear government and media spread.
And children were hurt the most, suffering developmental delays and other losses.
~ Even the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention admitted lockdowns fueled strep, flu and respiratory-syncytial-virus outbreaks.

Many lockdown measures were nonsensical or downright discriminatory.
As lefty blogger Nate Silver observed, “It’s kind of crazy (and tells you a lot about who was writing the restrictions) that churches in some jurisdictions were subject to more restrictions than museums! Not even attempting to follow any sort of epidemiological principles.”
