Higher COVID-19 caseloads were associated w/ countries w/ higher obesity, median population age and longer time to border closures from the first reported case.

The evidence lockdowns and wide-spread testing had no impact is overwhelming at this point.

TrendMacro analyzed data aggregated by the Covid Tracking Project and compared with timing and intensity of the lockdowns, tabulated by the University of Maryland’s “Social Distancing Index.”

Lockdowns not only failed, but made the spread worse.

Lockdowns correlated with a greater spread of the virus. States with longer, stricter lockdowns had larger outbreaks. The five with the harshest lockdowns—DC, New York, Michigan, New Jersey and Massachusetts—had the heaviest caseloads. wsj.com/articles/the-f…

It's astonishing when you objectively look at the data. But that's typical during a crisis and leviathan.

It also makes the latest claim by @NYGovCuomo more than disingenuous, but downright sinister.

He, other pols and complicit media sacrificed human beings for politics.

Worse, all of the parties complicit in the lockdowns, who are the same parties stunting our kids' development for political gain, not only refuse to acknowledge the evidence and admit these wrongs, but are also continuing to push their con via deception.

Should be criminal.

This is insanity and not a decision based on any empirical evidence. In fact, all relevant data i.e. risk to youth, outdoor transmissions, etc. suggest this is asinine.

The cynic in me is really starting to think they want us all unhappy and depressed.
