1- “As of last June, the number of small businesses in Colorado had declined by over 40% during the pandemic.”

This was a feature of the lockdowns, not a bug (cont).

2- “..most Colorado K-12 students suffered setbacks in their academic achievement — idled at home by remote learning amid COVID — the impact was far more pronounced on low-income students and students of color.”

Dems did the lockdowns, fwiw.

3- “The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated already-rising overdose rates in the state, with “an outsized effect on minority groups” — notably Hispanic and Black Coloradans.”

COVID-19 didn’t do this, the idiotic lockdowns did.

4- “Almost twice as many lower-income adults postponed a medical procedure during the pandemic than did higher-income adults.”

During the *lockdowns. And yes, we know that Dems don’t care about these groups beyond how they vote.

5- “These and other troubling developments observed in the study weren’t caused by the virus per se, of course — but by government intervention intended to stem the virus.”

“The stupid intervention that didn’t stem the virus” - fixed it for you.

6- “Intuitively, most of us knew there’d be a comeuppance for the wide-ranging measures — lockdowns at home, shutdowns of businesses and lockouts at schools — that were imposed by government.”

Bullshit. Everyone in Media cheered on Faucism lockdowns.

7- The article goes on & on but doesn’t get any better.

TL;DR - Lockdowns were terrible.
