Take covid out of it, and lockdown is horrendous, but argue that lockdown can be adapted. Make sure people who are not coping get the help they need. Make sure that people who are ill can get medical help. Find a way to let family see each other,but the principle of lockdown is sound. The drop in cases during lockdown one show that.

Lockdown is far from perfect,but you can't let perfect be the minimum level,otherwise you would do nothing.
Cases were falling before lockdown 1 had any impact.

Only time in history healthy people have been quartined and put under house arrest.

We disagree as I think the principle of lockdown is sickening.

They only had a go at it here because Italians complied and they thought they cud then do it......Italians now rebelling.
