    How does open heart surgery help your chest? You have to make a huge incision and poke around, causing all sorts of lasting damage.

    Of course the lockdown would have had costs. Global pandemics tend to affect the economy one way or the other. A total lockdown would have shortened the pandemic, getting people fully back to work sooner, killed fewer people, and ultimately cost less than the half-assed bullshit we couldn’t even get the President to do. Several countries managed to avoid the l9ng term economic downturn by doing exactly what I just said in the last comment.
