Just remember that this whole lockdown thing wasn't necessary. You can all remember that for the next two or three months.

I agree with this. And it's gonna be more like for the next two or three years. The so-called experts are killing the country. I can see a civil war in the makings.
The rest of what you write has too many 'shoulds'. We know, you're one of those 'should' people, 'shoulding' us to death. That is simply a personality trait, we get it. Except that's not how the real world works, unfortunately.

Yes, sometimes the experts are wrong. But on the average they will be right more often than a non-expert will be. So I ask you, "what if the experts are right?"
The reason "experts" so often get proven wrong is that they weren't actually expert at all - they were political appointees. Fauci is so low on the list of experts it's a joke and the nonsense-spreading Surgeon General has been putting out smoothbrain virus.I agree with everything, but the experts always seem to get proved wrong. And there's a lot of free reign in how all the way things are getting dealt with. Mistakes are going to be made, for sure.
I wise man is willing to change direction when the facts and logic and truth prevail. Only a fool hangs onto misproven doctrine.
You need to tell us who you believe is an expert in communicable disease in order for anyone to show if they have been wrong. Go ahead. Waiting.I've asked repeatedly what specific information you have that would show that you are right and the "experts" are wrong. So far I have received no answer.

...but the experts always seem to get proved wrong.
You can say that again...How about the train engineer who tried to crash his rig into the hospital ship?Which "experts" are you referring to that are always proven wrong?
Please keep in mind that when "experts" are right it is rarely news. But when the "experts" are wrong it nearly always is. That alone can produce a distorted view of reality, and is a kind of media bias that is universal. Also universal is the inability of nearly any news media to effectively convey uncertain or complex information. Which often produces a situation where what the media reports "experts" as saying isn't at all what was said. The fact that damned few "experts" have decent public communications skills makes the challenges even uglier.
All of this crap has became important because we now find ourselves in a situation where properly interpreting the information you receive can literally mean the difference between life and death. While I would consider it borderline nuts to use an online forum about electric bikes as your source of information during a pandemic, we also have people out there who are drinking bleach and fish tank cleaner because they think it will protect them from covid-19 -- so there are no shortage of nuts out there.

Name who you believe is an expert in communicable diseases. Otherwise what you are claiming we SHOULD listen to, is just more fluff from someone who is not an expert talking about experts we should rely on but never naming one.Which "experts" are you referring to that are always proven wrong?
Where is your evidence supporting those 2 statements, please?Please keep in mind that when "experts" are right it is rarely news. But when the "experts" are wrong it nearly always is.
So might your beliefs, when you have no evidence or proof. It all SOUNDS logical if you don't think about it much.That alone can produce a distorted view of reality, and is a kind of media bias that is universal.
But you have the skillset to get to the bottom of it all? If not then you rely on media reports that you say ...The fact that damned few "experts" have decent public communications skills makes the challenges even uglier.

More blather, City. States are SUPPOSED to control those things that are in their purview. Trump is respecting State rights.Now Trump is blaming the states and their governments for his own failures. At least Putin is on top of his game looking out for his people, and the American people as well, Putin sent us 60 tons of help. Who will Trump blame today? LMAO!!!!!
You give us the inimitable Brian Williams, the faker, who reported his helicopter taking enemy shots...like Hillary having to duck sniper fire when it was just children giving her flowers.Now Trump is blaming the states and their governments for his own failures. At least Putin is on top of his game looking out for his people, and the American people as well, Putin sent us 60 tons of help. Who will Trump blame today? LMAO!!!!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Williams#cite_note-Stripes-45On February 4, 2015, Williams apologized for and recanted his disproven Iraq War story, which he had told on a Nightly News broadcast on January 30, 2015. He claimed that a military helicopter he was traveling in had been "forced down after being hit by an RPG".[44][45]
