[QUOTE="doctorjj, post: 3369503, member: 7292"] Plenty of the models used to justify lockdowns showed extreme numbers of deaths even if measures were taken. So all of you guys that said otherwise have bad memories. Specifically the model by Neil Ferguson at Imperial College in London which was, in fact, used to shape US policy did exactly that. It showed up to 1 million deaths even with "enhanced social distancing" measures including "shielding the elderly". The IHME models have changed through time as well. Initially, they showed much worse results even with social distancing measures being taken. And even with that said, we've all done a horrible job with social distancing and self imposed lockdowns. Cell phone data was analyzed and we were given an F grade. Has anyone looked around? Here in Oklahoma, social distancing measures likely made the interactions among people even more likely to spread the virus. Has anyone driven by a Lowes or Walmart? The same number of people are out and about, its just that now they only have a handful of places to go. People are more concentrated during shutdown than they were during business as usual. Walmart here looked like Black Friday for about 2 weeks straight. [/QUOTE]
