A doctor on Joe Biden’s coronavirus task force, Michael Osterholm, wants a national lockdown, as does at least one other member, Ezekiel Emanuel.
“We need to lock down to drive this infection level to a place where we can actually control it,” Osterholm said.
We tried that, lockdowns do not stop the virus. That is true of every country that has locked down. Beyond lowering hospitalizations, it has no value. And it destroys peoples’ lives.
His lockdown is bizarre. Osterholm wants to borrow more money from ourselves and pay people to lose their businesses and pay city and state governments to lockdown.
We are 30 trillion in debt and if we go into deeper debt, the dollar will fail, and we will lose it all. That is why doctors, unelected and often bureaucratic, cannot be in charge of the government.
This man is nuts. We are heading for a devastated economy.

As far as masks, he says it’s nonsense:
ROGAN: “Now, what can be done? Like, what can the average person do? I see people walking around with masks, wearing gloves. Is that nonsense?”
OSTERHOLM: “Largely.”
Osterholm also said the “kids aren’t getting sick.”
So, open the schools! He sounds more realistic in this clip, saying there is a case for opening the school.
In March, Osterholm said wearing masks & gloves to stop the spread of Covid is “largely nonsense” https://t.co/spYxsfOzEd

In this next clip, Dr. Michael Osterholm threatens a “four-to-six weeks” national lockdown to help “drive the numbers down” on COVID. He references an op-ed in which he says the lockdown must be “as comprehensive and strict as possible.”
More nuttiness.

This is exactly what they want. To destroy the livelihood of the average person and use their “Great Reset” to usher in an new form of socialism. What the couldn’t do with “climate change” that want to do with this flu.
Maybe someone thinks “economic stasis” is the same as “static economy”.
The Marines did a study in a restricted environment with masks, distancing, minimal contact, only outside exercise….the virus still spread. The carrier Roosevelt found that the infection still spread and 72% had minimal symptoms with over 50 having none at all. Those most susceptible have died the rest of us are becoming herd immune or don’t react badly to an infection.
Destroying the economy in order to pick winners and losers a command economy Tyranny,
And that 4 to 6 weeks would become 3 months, then 6 months……
