Ending The Lockdown Is Not Selfish Nor Cruel
by Nina Bookout in People 6 Comments
Americans, especially Republicans, who want the lockdown ended yesterday
have been labeled as selfish and cruel. That’s direct from the blue check
scolding media, celebrities, and political elites.
A sampling of what I’ve observed across social media follows:
Ending the lockdown or refusing to wear a mask is wrong because you don’t
have the right to risk someone else’s life.
Ending the lockdown just so you can reopen your hair salon, restaurant,
clothing boutique is incredibly arrogant, selfish, and will endanger us all.
To be very blunt.
The lockdown has decimated our economy.
As of this morning, from March to April, 20 million people lost their jobs.
Never mind all that, keep the lockdown in place because REASONS! Lord &
Taylor, BNSF Railway, Milgard Windows, restaurants, boutiques, oil fields,
and more are all shut down. Permanently in some cases.
The lockdown has cratered our supply chain.
That’s ok. There’s a simple fix according to some “expert” on Facebook who
said dairy farmers should just switch to making cheese and milk dumping will
come to a halt.
Texas, Florida, Colorado and other states have MOAR cases that magically
happened the very day/week that businesses were allowed to open. Instant
cause and effect! BULLSHIT.
More testing, which is happening around the country, WILL end up identifying
new cases. Does that mean every single person will die? Absolutely not. Does
that mean those new cases magically came from the restaurant that is now
operating at an unsustainable 20% capacity? No.
The lockdown was NEVER intended to ensure the virus would just give up and
go away. Furthermore, as Kim wrote, we are now finding out that this virus
has been traveling around since early fall of 2019.
Yet when people talk about ending the lockdown, the crowd goes wild and not
in a good way.
“We’re moving toward an utterly horrifying partisan divide, in which
Democrats want to contain the virus so that we’re able to get the economy
back on its feet, while Republicans decide that the only brave and manly
thing to do is to stop worrying about the virus and “get back to normal”
immediately, no matter how many Americans it kills. In fact, we may soon
reach the point where dismissing all those deaths is precisely how you show
your loyalty to Trump.”
Hey Paul? This has nothing to do with loyalty to Trump and everything to do
with caring about the health and welfare of every American citizen. While
you are telling us ending the lockdown will kill us all, the lockdown itself
has caused the following:
Empty hospitals and thousands of furloughed medical personnel
A significant increase in depression, suicides, and domestic abuse
School children are suffering mentally and physically because one of their
essential ways to learn and grow, in-person interaction with their peers and
teachers, has been abruptly cut off.
People deferring or being told to defer medical appointments which is
causing additional health problems.
Yet, those who are protesting the lockdowns are being painted as evil people
who don’t care about human life.
“Despite what the media claims, these protests against draconian
stay-at-home orders, lockdowns, and closures aren’t simply based on the
desire to get out of the house, get a haircut, and eat at one’s favorite
restaurant. At the root, they’re based on perceived governmental overreach
that doesn’t seem justified as data rolls in telling us the “enemy” isn’t
all it has been cracked up to be.
Surely, even those who have lost their livelihoods and their freedoms in one
fell swoop could understand and abide by measures, even draconian ones, that
made sense in light of the best data available.”
Yes, about those models. The Imperial College model needs to be ripped to
shreds and then burned to a crisp. Not only has it been completely wrong;
the author of this shit, Neil Ferguson, got caught with his pants down. He
of the ‘shut the entire world down to get rid of this virus’ broke his own
rules multiple times.
People who want to end the lockdown are being shamed into for their stance.

You know what S.E.?? I don’t accept ANY deaths of ANY kind. Yet there you
sit, with a well-paying job, and lecture those who DON’T have a job. You
insist the lockdown must stay in place. Know anyone in the NYC area with
cancer? Guess what S.E.? Appointment cancellations and no-shows are
registering at 80% in the Northeast and there’s a 17% decline in
chemotherapy in the same area. What are the rates across the country? I
shudder to think.
S.E., did you ever bother to realize that, should this lockdown continue,
people will be gravely ill and dying from something other than this Wuhan
lung rot? NOPE. Instead you are more interested in playing the ‘how dare
you!!’ card.

Remember when we were told we had to flatten the curve and we’d lockdown for
a few weeks to ramp up PPE and free up ventilators or else we’d have to
start death panels? When did that turn into indefinite lockdowns and
economic destruction because “if it saves one life?”

I grew up on a ranch. We saw life and death every damned day. Hard choices
had to be made on multiple occasions. If a steer, cow, or calf got sick we
doctored and even quarantined it if necessary. Did we quarantine the HEALTHY
herd? Absolutely not. Did it hurt us monetarily if we had to put an animal
down? Absolutely. Did we sacrifice the healthy livestock in order to save
that one life? NO. As a rancher, I grew up with life’s realities.
Advocating for this lockdown to end does not make any of us “Grandma
Killers” nor does it make us selfish or cruel.
Bill Maher, for all his snide asides regarding the Trump Administration,
gets it.
This lockdown needs to end so we can SAVE lives.

Moreover, complete economic recovery in America really can not happen
until after we overcome the COVID-19 pandemic.

While wonderfully hungry in the Holy Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy
8:3) us to hunger, I note that you, Michael, are rapture (Luke 17:37)
ready and pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that our Everlasting (Isaiah 9:6)
Father in Heaven continues to give us "much more" (Luke 11:13) Holy
Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) so that we'd have much more of His Help to
always say/write that we're "wonderfully hungry" in **all** ways
including especially caring to http://bit.ly/ConvinceItForward (John
15:12 as shown by http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 ) with all glory (
http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD (aka HaShem, Elohim, Abba, DEO), in
the name (John 16:23) of LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.
