Anti lockdown rally

What's your point? My point was if we believe lockdowns work then when we come out of them we should see a rise in 'cases'.
Iowa, Texas & Mississippi dropped all their restrictions back in March (Feb for Iowa) and some believed this would lead to a huge spike in 'cases' and hospitalisations. There are plenty of other examples with similar trends. By the way Texas (not sure on others) has the 'delta' variant.

In regards to Belarus - I have a very good friend and know a fair few people who live there and have visited myself, they think we're insane in our approach.

I don't see that infections not going up after a lockdown in released is proof. In the meantime vaccinations could have helped that.

Transmission of a virus, any virus is from host to host. For the virus to transfer there has to be a method of transfer (air born, water born, skin to skin contact, etc.) and there has to be a receptive host.

It is complicated, there are lots of factors, it isn't as black and white as you think but as I have said you are entitled to your opinion.

It is very much that simple, to thrive the virus needs to pass to a new host. That is a simple fact. It isn't an opinion.

How can a virus thrive without a host? Come on if it is more complicated do share.

You don't? OK then.

It's not, multiple factors contribute infection rates. You are ignoring that when a lockdown is implemented the infections drop and what the why lockdowns are implemented in the first place.

Lots of people who doubt why lockdowns work don't seem to understand why lockdowns are used. I think this is the case here. Unless you can explain differently.

So, we are still waiting for one of your 'good examples' that provide proof that lockdowns don't work... and whilst you are on why is there a direct link with lockdowns starting and infection rates dropping?
