The flip side is many who have covid19 and are asymptomatic or have mild cold like symptoms, are not being tested.

It's only one day per week, during weekendThere are many days where the death toll is 100-200.

Quarantine has been put in place since 1832 in Canada and for Irish immigrants in 1847 for the Typhus and up to 1937 for other possible pandemics.Do you know the origin of the word "quarantine"??? It comes from Italian - being quarantina = 40 days.

Quarantine - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
During the days of the Black Death (15th century), the Venetians would force ships to sit in the harbor for 40 days - not allowed to dock, until the ship proved that there was no infection. Nobody called it repression back then. It was just sensible, which seems to be rarer in this century.
So my idea is not original. It's from 14th century Italy.
Given we're now looking at a possible lockdown, I'd far prefer inconveniencing 1000s than risking 1,000,000s of lives, untold mental anguish and MILLIONS of dollars in economic damage. Omicron might prove to be mild, but what if it's not??? What if the next variant is far more vicious and infectious?
Look at Australia, which had strict quarantine protocols like I described. The results speak for themselves: Canada has 788 deaths/million. Australia? 84.
9 Canadians died of covid compared to 1 Australian. Think about that.
That's like going to war with 1000 Canadians and 1000 Australians. The Canadians stagger back with 100 survivors. The Australians get to go home with 900.
Not bad for an idea from 14th Century Italy, huh?
A nanny state being justified in the name of public health. That is what society is voting for. This is going too far.Canada secretly tracked 33 million phones during COVID-19 lockdown:

I do not want to be dramatic, but given the few debates i had recently, it looks grim. It seems as if our democracies are going to be the first victim of this pandemic. People are going along, and it looks like we will reach a point of no return soon. If our governments get away with this behaviour, god knows where it will end. We might start living in eras of terror so that they can tighten their grips over us. Security, health, economic, all kinds of terrors. At this point, I am just hoping that democratic behaviours and tendencies have a natural resilience and can withstand these current violations.A nanny state being justified in the name of public health.

That is great except for the fact that Fauci is more of a mouthpiece for which ever President is in power than a doctor.I just heard that not a single one of the major news networks carried the supposed big Covid announcement. I think they all figured out he is a stupid fucking moron. When Dr. Fauci has something important to say, they will probably carry that.

One of my favorite Star Trek episodes is The Gamesters of Triskelion. Mostly it's because I love the fight scenes plus it's the one with the spear-wielding hot blond in a silver bikini. It's about a planet where the commoners are forced to wear obedience collars and are pitted against one another in an arena fight to the death all for the amusement of the bored elites who control them.I do not want to be dramatic, but given the few debates i had recently, it looks grim.
