    Nothing you are posting at this point is rationale. It's just a whole lot of whining and really horrendous data analysis. Maybe you should hold a super spreader wake in your home to mourn the end of Trump's political career.

    Why are your dropping the mic?
    Who here has been saying the US is the benchmark of proper Covid response?

    Don’t Go to Church, Don’t Buy Christmas Presents: German Government’s Festive Covid Lockdown

    Germany will enter a harsh coronavirus lockdown this week, with Angela Merkel’s government warning residents to not go out for Christmas shopping, Christians to not attend church services, and pupils to stay away from school.

    The nationwide lockdown Germany is already under “was not enough”, German Chancellor Angel Merkel said as she introduced a series of new measures including closing schools, all non-essential shops, and even banning outright the sale of some seasonal celebratory items. The new lockdown begins on Wednesday (16th) and will last, with an exception for a quick break for Christmas itself, until January 10th.

    ...
    A spokesman for the Bavarian Trade Association said local businesses expected to reap €14 billion in the run up to Christmas, but now “the Christmas business is over”, and its members expected to lose €150 million a day during the closure.

    Ordinary Germans will suffer loss of their traditions in the coming weeks, too. Part of the package of lockdown measures bans outdoor drinking, meaning mulled wine, a staple of European festive celebrations, is cancelled for 2020. Explaining the prohibition, Merkel said people do not wear masks or socially distance properly while enjoying themselves with a cup of hot, spiced wine, so it had to go.

    New Year’s Eve will be different, too. The lockdown also totally outlaws the sale of fireworks, a seasonal favourite in German cities. The policy may backfire, however. German newspaper Die Welt reports citizens love seeing in the New Year with pyrotechnics so much, some may turn to home-made or illegally imported fireworks, which it is feared could be dangerous.

    Germany -- the best performing large country in Europe in terms of COVID -- has wisely taken a course to prevent increasing COVID infection.

    Perhaps they should have locked down the high risk earlier...
    rather than having to lock down everyone now and risk a revolt on top of a major death toll.

    Country after country following the path of Destruction GWB and the lefties have been advocating

    This massively terrible result... being anticipated months ago by almost everyone... yet...
    it is still happening as they follow the same failed playbook.


    Morons... or worse? .

    Sweden has one of the lowest numbers of ICU units per 1000 people in all of Europe.
    What is normal ICU occupancy and what percent of these ICU patients are because covid?
    For months and months we had almost no patients going into Sweden ICU for COVID.
    Now we have 15-20 a day and it’s flu season.

    Sweden was the control study we didn't need as proof that lock downs work. Shame about the victims, given the historical redundancy.
