This country did not stay shut down long enough. England goes by the number in hospitals. If hospital patient numbers reach a certain number, they will shut down the country and that is what is happening now. They are shut down until Dec. 2.
And will remain locked down all winter, and into spring, if that's how you're going to measure things.
The areas with the hardest lockdowns tend to be the areas that are seeing the biggest spikes now. Michigan, with tyrannical Gretchen Whitmer at the helm, has one of the highest rates per capita AND one of the fastest rates of increase.
Lockdowns don't work. Mask mandates don't work—the masks themselves may help in select circumstances but are no panacea. Really, there's nothing in our power that we can do to stop an airborne virus from blowing in.
But the fact that we allowed the virus to spread in the summer, where sunlight could corrupt its RNA and the boost in vitamin D helped immune systems, have put the U.S.A. in a better position.
