To add a slightly different twist, try and google DO LOCK DOWNS REALLY WORK

Surprised me the opinions of some well known names and their views, is nothing else food for thought.

I wish more would read some of the differing opinions and not just take what CNN/MSN feed them, as the truth.

What I liked in the first one I read is that he defined "lockdown" very specifically, and it goes along with what my solution would be.  Masks are not lockdown.  Social distancing is not lockdown.  Travel restrictions are not lockdown.  You can do a lot with an economy wrecking total stay in your house lockdown.

This reminded me of something I watched yesterday, completely by chance when it popped up on You Tube.  Not intended to be political.  Reagan was a funny guy who could laugh at himself.  The first segment is what reminded me of the above.

I liked Reagan (not that it matters because I'm not a USA citizen and can't vote) :)

I recall a comment about statistics when First Lady Barbara Bush was asked about some elections polls, she said that the only statistic she had faith in was that if you took all the people who fell asleep during church and laid them end to end they would be a great deal more comfortable.
