End the Lockdown

Is the 'cure' worse than Covid? Driven to despair by lockdown, two of Professor Angus Dalgleish's colleagues took their own lives… and compelled him to join a growing rebellion against Cromwellian restrictions
On Monday, I joined a Zoom meeting with a colleague who told me that another participant, a highly respected research assistant, would not be joining us.
Tragically, he had committed suicide. It subsequently emerged that he had hanged himself in his bedsit.
Lockdown and Covid restrictions had left him feeling isolated and broken by the loss of normal human interaction.
The news came as a terrible shock — but his is not the only suicide that has touched my life in the past fortnight.
I was also shaken when another colleague, whom I have known since we were young doctors, killed himself as a result of profound despair at the loneliness and anxiety created by Covid.
As far as I am aware, he had no history of mental illness, nor was he undertaking treatment for depression, but it is clear he became overwhelmed by feelings of hopelessness as the pandemic dragged on.
These two cases provide a graphic illustration of the lethal impact of this disease that goes far beyond the physical harm caused by the virus itself.
Our society has been thrown into turmoil, our economy paralysed.
And there is no sign of a return to normality any time soon.
Indeed, just the opposite is true, as the institutions of the State indulge in ever greater fear-mongering and repression. In response to a rising rate of infections and hospital admissions, the Scottish Government has imposed draconian restrictions on the hospitality trade, while in London the Tory Cabinet considers a massive extension of local lockdowns across northern England from Monday.
Such measures may not stem the tide of contagion, but they will certainly lead to more business failures, mass unemployment, public distress and fractured lives.
I view the official Covid strategy with mounting alarm. As our nation stares into the abyss of unprecedented recession and social dislocation, the supposed cure is indeed turning out to be far worse than the disease.

The better Sweden does on the coronavirus, the angrier their critics get

End the lockdown.
Wait until fall numbers come in and see who has done better, we're going through the start of it now, will not subside until herd immunity is achieved much like the Spanish flu
Why has Google censored the Great Barrington Declaration?
Big Tech now treats any opposition to lockdown as misinformation – even if it’s from eminent scientists.

So? Why just compare it to other Scandinavian countries? It's not like they're similar. Sweden has a much larger population for a start. Why not compare it to, say, Britain, Italy, Canada, France and other lockdowned countries?
And its number of deaths is far far less than many "experts" were predicting it would have.
Sweden - and Japan - have proven that the lockdowns have been a big mistake.
You including Japan in your need to prove lockdowns are bad is just idiocy.
You actually can't really compare Japan to most of the West because of it's differences overall, not just as an isolated populace but also the fact it's culture is nothing like anything in the west.
For instance - they are very, VERY pro mask.
They take cultural responsibility seriously.
Hell, they even have the kids help keep things clean.
In a case of apples and oranges, you're using a goddamn watermelon.
That's something these idiots will ignore.
That there are mutating strains of Covid and people are catching it again.
Interesting that the people who also think Covid is BS, some are 'pro life'... so how many people must you dictate to die to get your herd immunity theory tested, let alone to work? Why do the lives of those people not matter so much? Should we section the world off then, draw lots a la Hunger Games to see who is and isn't exposed to the virus? And don't forget, EVERYONE has to be from seniors right down to babies and considering the secondary infections and unknowns of what the virus does to the body after it's no longer an issue, which babies and youth do you want exposed?
Or you know we could all just wash our goddamn hands, wear the goddamn mask, keep distance, follow the goddamn rules - even if they keep changing - and maybe more of us will survive this than not?
People still die from a variation of the Spanish flu each year, I didn't say that it wouldn't still have complications did I?
Herd immunity has to be achieved before the world can get past this, like every other end of humankind virus
How many of those have I been through , yikes can’t even remember them all . Starting with learning how to hide under my desk in grade one . In case of the inevitable nuclear war you know .
