    My city did the longest lockdown in the world, and it was a proper lockdown. No travel, no going out except for groceries and medication, all industries shut down.

    How exactly do you expect people to eat during your magical full-lockdown?

    And once again, covid spreads through the air, which means it can move from condo unit to condo unit and spread, even in a full weld the doors shut lockdown. Unless you want to cut off people’s air and have them all suffocate I guess.

    Seriously, how does your lockdown actually work, logistically? To allow people to actually survive it, while also doing it for long enough to actually eliminate covid, which would take several months due to inter-unit spread.

      My city did the longest lockdown.

      Are we discussing a city-wide pandemic, or a global one? Remind me.

      How exactly do you expect people to eat during your magical full-lockdown?

      As I mentioned in another reply food deliveries, just not by private individuals forced to wade through anti-masker air.

      covid spreads through the air, which means it can move from condo unit to condo unit and spread

      HVAC technology exists, and I also advocate all buildings air systems be upgraded (at gun point, by people in hazmat suits receiving hazard pay).

      The technology and resources exist to fight this problem, just not the political will.

      while also doing it for long enough to actually eliminate covid

      So you admit it is theoretically possible.

        Given my province city didn’t allow people in, and city stayed lockdown for 4 months, yet local covid kept on chugging along, shows that 2 weeks is not enough even if done globally.

        So people are out delivering food? That means people are out growing food, transporting food, preparing food, etc… That’s a lot of people, and that’s just in the food industry.

        Where are we going to get all those hazmat suits? We didn’t have all that many pre-pandemic, so we need to make them to have enough for everyone who needs to go out. So we now have lots of people in factories making hazmat suits.

        Also who is training people on the proper use of hazmat suits? Improperly used hazmats don’t work, so people need to be trained and periodically inspected on their proper use.

        Who is building the HVACs? Who is mining the resources required to go into making them? Who is smelting and preparing those resources? Who is transporting those resources? Seems like a lot of people need to be working to make this happen.

        And again you have millions of gun totting hazmat wearing quarantine police running around. Are they acting perfectly, and not asymptomatically spreading it when they get lazy?

        All of this would take years to implement, retorfitting every single building with new HVAC systems would take years. Are you prepared to full lockdown for literal years?

        And again, you still have to kill a very large chunk of the wild animal and pet population as well. Good luck finding and hunting down billions of deer and cats among other animals.

        So no, it isn’t in any way theoretically possible.

          You are just jumping through hoops to justify the sunk cost of all the people we intentionally made die as a society, huh?

            No, you just don’t understand what it would take to actually eliminate a disease.

            Please address my points, and how you would actually manage them, with the logistics of our actual world, not some fancy fantasy land you live in with unlimited resources and the ability to somehow do difficult installation labour on literally billions of homes at once.

              I understand you would rather millions die and orders more be permanently disabled than do something about it (which we could have)

              unlimited resources

              We have close enough for jazz in this scenario if you factor out profit.

              Of course people who benefit from us not factoring that out twist themselves and fact around to explain why so many people had to be made to die during this plague.

                Why are you not addressing my points?

                Take out profit completely, and just address these with no need to explain profit.

                Where are the resources to make the HVAC systems coming from?

                Who is making the HVAC systems?

                Who is installing the HVAC systems?

                In literally billions of homes, who is doing all this?

                Who is making the hazmat suits?

                Who is training people on and distributing the hazmat suits?

                You need hundreds of millions of hazmat suits in order to have armed guards and food delivery people in every town and city in the world.

                What time frame will all this take to implement?

                Please, logistically how are you going to achieve your vision of a lockdown that would actually work to end covid, no money required?

                Because right now, your ideas are impossible and could not work.

                  Why are you not addressing my points?

                  Seems pointless when you ignore mine. Kind of like you seem to ignore all the ongoing death.

                  You just want to stay convinced all the ongoing death is a good thing and I don’t see why I should put effort into speaking with someone who doesn’t even read links.

                  I’ll keep smacking you down, but you aren’t actually engaging so I won’t be putting as much effort into it any more.

                    I am engaging, I took your points and asked you to clarify things about them. You’re the one not engaging.

                    Please explain how your HVAC system upgrade is going to be implemented, and using what resources? Just a start, explain that part of your plan.
