Just Two Weeks!!

It requires a lot of privilege and disconnect from the average person to support a lockdown two years into this.

Perhaps after two months I will think differently :D

Well, unlike the previous poster I do think 2 weeks is not that much. Most lockdowns here in Europe have been longer than that.

The difference is that lockdowns here were a lot less strict. It was still possible to go to the shops for example, and people in critical supply chains (e.g. food, medical) could still work. Precisely to avoid this kind of issue where people are running out of food.

I’ve found it super tough to do online school with a small child. For the under 10 kids they need a lot of supervision and the online school becomes your day job. So if both parents are trapped at home trying to work it’s hell

Do people feel that the lockdown is justified? I saw the start of a paywalled WSJ article saying that there are 130k reported cases and no deaths? I don't believe them on the deaths part but if thats the information from the government how do people justify a lockdown?
