The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC, recently announced that it was reducing the quarantine period for those testing positive for COVID-19 to five days. It previously had reduced the quarantine period from fourteen to ten days. The reason it gave for the latest reduction is that research has shown that a person is contagious for the two days before and the three days after symptoms appear. These results shed discouraging light on lockdowns.
The science on lockdowns is that they do nothing to prevent the spread, while creating health problems, social, educational, and economic problems on a large scale themselves Unimpressed, the influential doctors in Ontario are calling for a “circuit-breaker” lockdown in order to protect, not you, but their precious health care system as the “Omicron OMG!” wave ramps up. Methods that failed to stop alpha and delta are being summoned to deal with the more contagious omicron?
To combat the third wave, from April to the July 2021, Ontario ran a full lockdown for seven consecutive fourteen day periods. The doctors pathetically claim this as their justifying success story. But if contagiousness lasts only five days, this wasn’t seven, it was nineteen quarantine periods, a failure of method by any measure. The third wave cases curve shows the expected shape of rise and fall, like one finds in Sweden.
These doctors, ignorant and uncaring of the
science, need to be cancelled. The
health care system exists to protect us, we don’t exist to protect the health
care system.
