Biden public health advisers reject national 'lockdown'

Two public health experts advising President-elect Joe Biden on COVID-19 rejected the idea of “lockdowns” like those seen in the spring to bring down rising case numbers.

This is going to turn into an argument of personal responsibility and victim blaming. You can already see it with liberals down in the comment section - "if everyone just wore a mask, we wouldn't be talking about lockdowns anyway".

By March of next year, they'll be victim-blaming and saying stuff like - "those people died cause they were STUPID and wouldn't wear a mask!"

    Yep. All next year, that's what we're going to hear.

    "Those people were STUPID and they should've wore a mask, they deserved to die!"

    With Trump, the argument against lockdowns was that it hurt the economy and small businesses. With liberals and the Democratic party, they'll just say fuck those people for being STOOOOOOOOPID and they deserved to die.

      It’s part of the same “poor = dumb = racist” shit that allows libs to shit on 50% of the population without ever trying to help them get out of that position

        They have a new fancy politically correct term for that; "non college educated". In other words, fuck you if you're poor and didn't go to college!

          I'm poor, went to college, dropped out because it was too much for my 20 year old self to work full time and do school full time and live so meagerly to afford california housing costs. I've learned more on my own than I ever did in college.
