This Lockdown Hasn't Worked, Has It?
32 Answers
As soon as the lockdown came in, the death rate shot up. Hundreds have been dying every day since, and still are. We're just going to have to live with it until they find a cure, like some countries live with Ebola. Ask the families of the 40,000+ what they think of the lockdown. What good did it do for them?

My mum for example knows that it's been worth it because she's got through it, the health system has coped and we are now safely able to relax the lockdown and some like you can happily play golf again. It'll be with us for some time yet but it can be kept to manageable levels and scientists are working on treatments and vaccines.
Many of the people still dying have had the disease a long time. I certainly think lockdown has worked, since most of my friends are elderly and vulnerable and none of them or their families have had the disease. Neither has anyone else I have chatted to in passing. And most of the people on this website who have self isolated seem fine too.
The death rate shooting up when lockdown was brought in might mean those were infected before lockdown. Does anyone know how many did not contract Covid and did not die because of lockdown. According to what I have been reading the death rate is going down. We went into lockdown earlier and have had a low death rate. With lockdown being eased there has been a slight increase in deaths in Lisbon and another area, in the 25 to 65 age group and this is being investigated.
according to a friend in a home counties ITU, from the onset of symptoms to hospital bed averages 10 days, and from there to bodybag a further 20. the lockdown occurred on 23rd march, although from observation it was being voluntarily enacted most of the previous week. thus it would be expected to take until mid April or so for any effect of the lockdown on death rate to work through (assuming a very short incubation period). in fact according to the graph of deaths reported (here https:/ /corona virus.d ata.gov .uk/ ) the peak occurred around 10th-15th, which would be about right.
