The Manitoba lockdown is useless – the proof

For all the warfare being conducted against the civil rights of Manitobans, none it does any good to prevent the spread of the virus.  The science is that lockdowns don’t work to prevent the spread, and the data from Manitoba is further proof.

In January 2021, the Stanford University medical center released a study of lockdown measures used around the world and compared their effectiveness to those few jurisdictions that didn’t lock down.  The study concluded that lockdowns show no effect in preventing the spread.

The normal progression of a COVID infection is that a person begins to show symptoms within 5.5 days of infection.  By day fourteen, the person has completely recovered, and this happens 95+  percent of the time.  There’s a reason the quarantine period is fourteen days.

If lockdown measures prevented the spread of infection, you would see a sharp downturn in the daily cases rate within the first week of the lockdown.  By day fourteen, the pandemic should be stopped cold.  The less effective the lockdown, the less sharp the downturn in case numbers.  Now, let’s look at some Manitoba numbers.

On April 4, Manitoba reported 67 new cases and “1.2k” total active cases.  Fourteen days later, April 18, Manitoba reported 167 new cases and 1.4k active cases.  Another fourteen days later, May 2, Manitoba reported 279 new cases and 2.1k active.  Yet another fourteen days later, May 16, Manitoba reported 532 new case and 4.6k total active.  The data proves that Manitoba’s lockdown is completely ineffective, and may actually contribute to the spread.

Manitobans accepted a tyranny in exchange for an empty promise of disease control.  Lockdowns control people, not the virus.  And that’s the science.
