Have you noticed anything lately while your flipping the news channel to CNN/MSNBC while they are blaming Trump for not ordering a lockdown that would last four to six months?
These liberal news networks and their so “Health experts” have not stated anything on the negative impact when a lockdown happens.
And what it does to your health or mind for that matter they think that a lockdown that lasts for four months or six will help save lives yet.
They fail to realize the emotional and other health risks that a lockdown can cause.
I have heard horror stories from Wuhan’s six month’s lockdown. In Italy it was even worse a small town nearly revolted after they ran out of food and essential products in their markets.
Its not surprising to see big leftist comic creators and other liberals criticizing Trump for not having a massive lockdown like China or Italy
Personally a lockdown wouldn’t do anything good expect destroy the economy
As long as people follow the guidelines with physical distancing and face cloth wear you should be fine but i am agaisnt lockdowns.
Look at the headlines.
Italy rules out new lockdown as coronavirus cases rise
The Italian government is not considering new lockdown to curb coronavirus infections, Health Minister Roberto Speranza said in a newspaper interview on Sunday, despite a steady rise in new cases over the past month.
A national mandate to wear a mask while grocery shopping is not a lockdown.
Nobody is calling for a lock down.
As for the media, I’m not shocked that they are reporting on the actual deaths that are happening rather than reporting about an Italian revolt that didn’t happen months ago.
The Italian revolt actually did happen in a small town not much of a revolt but it was to the gov.
As for the media, I’m not shocked that they are reporting on the actual deaths
You misunderstood me on that one. The media is ignoring and isnt reporting on the emotional impact caused by the “LOCKDOWNS” Which they are also ignoring the suicides caused by the lockdowns.

When we reduce the many stories of a pandemic to blocks of data, it is the death numbers which form the cold hard edge of this data. And yet, counting the dead is simple neither in theory nor in practice. Tracking COVID-19 deaths presents particular challenges not least because of how the disease interacts closely with other serious health conditions, termed comorbidities. Experts tell us that we are almost certainly underestimating COVID-19 deaths, but by how much? I’ll examine a story of ‘missing deaths’ in Maharashtra. First, some wider context.
Look, from the point of view of someone who studied psychology, these kinds of horrific tragedies have long lasting effects on the psyche of all of us. My kid is 25 years old, he still talks about how 9/11 had such a long lasting effect on him and his friends. How they were scared all the time. I did my best to talk with him and be honest with him, but it still did a number. Now this…he feels like his lifetime so far has been one cluster ■■■■ after another.
Depression is a difficult thing to deal with. It leads to anxiety, it leads to self medicating with Drugs and Alcohol, until things get bad. If anyone has depression, feels despair, or hopelessness, reach out to people, talk to your doctor. Get help. Don’t try to go through it alone.
I have always been pretty self assured, self reliant, and had strong ego strength. This thing is taking it’s toll on me. The easy thing would be to come home from work and have a few scotches, or bourbons, or a six pack of beer. But I know where that can lead. Fight the urge to self medicate…get help.
ISOLATION has kicked our asses on this. Don’t blame the media, don’t blame liberals, don’t blame Trump, blame the damn virus. We have this national crisis like we did in 2001…and instead of pulling together, rallying together, we have attacked each other and blamed each other…There is no feeling of unity in this country. We need to get that back…or hopelessness, and despair will win out.
