Surgeons do wear masks in public for exactly the same reason they wear masks in surgery. Idk what your point is exactly. Lockdowns did work as evidenced by infection rates in lockdown counties vs open counties. It's stupid whores like you thinking someone is "doing this to you" when it's happening to all of us.
What lockdowns? The brief stint where people stayed home for the most contagious variant? That worked, but people decided that hacking in each others faces was more fun then staying home.
Also, The Sun is a rag.
So, a bank said, staying home didn't prevent a contagious disease from spreading... And you didn't question that? You were like 'the money people said so' and that was good enough...
I mean if you wanted to argue it didn't work because people didn't listen and didn't do the lockdown and went out... That just means people are selfish pricks, not that the science wouldn't have worked. How do you not piece that together? A bunch of MAGA morons yelling 'my freedoms', is largely why it kept going. You trusted a bank over the CDC. Fucking wild.
Yeah, because conservative idiots refused to follow any of the advice given, preferring instead to live in denial and spread the disease. The best part of COVID was the Herman Caine Awards. God, that was better than any therapy.
Wow, an even more reputable site than The Sun. You'll believe anything that confirms what you've imagined to be true.
Wow. You're linking to a Rupert Murdoch tabloid newspaper to tell us a study from a bank that agrees with the corporate perspective on lockdowns affective their bottom line.
I can't imagine why it agrees with you.
I think I would go with a 19 author study published in science over a bank report in May. MAY! How much data did they have? At least by December we could get some data to work with

But is doesn't matter what science says for you does it?
