Around the world outdoor exercise was banned, and many outdoor activities in the U.S. were prevented by virtue of every available area being ‘closed’ (You May remember the famous video of the paddleboarder out alone in the ocean being chased down by multiple police boats).

You can do a lot to improve your health in the space of a few months — for example, a pre-diabetic slightly obese person can totally reverse that (potentially deadly ‘top-5’ risk factor) condition with daily exercise, or fall into a morbidly obese full diabetic condition in the same 2-3 month period.

People even started calling the widespread common weight gain experienced while locked up the ‘Pandemic-15’!

Reasonable policy is not being implemented. Each and every policy save a few (those few mostly directly attributable to Trump, incidentally) has directly led to outcomes measurably worse than the supposed health risk it was presented (usually with no evidence-based support) to mitigate. The shutdown was disasterous solely from a public health standpoint. The mask mandates clearly increase the risk of infection for all parties— Governor’s nursing home orders alone are directly responsible for approximately 1/3rd of the deaths (preventable deaths, as proven by Florida). I could go on and on... *solely about health, before considering the social, economic, infrastructure, cultural, and humanity costs.

When you compare and contrast different things, it helps to have a standard by which to measure. By most objective measures, the health risk of Covid is directly equivalent to an average flu, and in no way equivalent to the Black Death.

To assume that a reasonable estimate of the truth is reached by making a ‘compromise’ between two positions, especially when only one of those positions has any connection to reality, is to surrender your reason — and your health outcomes, your financial stability, and your freedom (and ultimately your vote) to the most shameless purveyors of extremist & dogmatic antiscientific claims.
