Dozens of studies show that lockdowns were an ineffective pandemic response. The list just got longer.
In May, Youyang Gu, an MIT-trained engineer and data scientist, released data showing that government restrictions were not correlated with lower COVID mortality in America. Government restrictions were correlated with higher unemployment, however.
“In the US, there is no correlation between Covid deaths & changes in unemployment rates. However, blue states are much more likely to have higher increases in unemployment,” wrote Gu, the creator of covid19-projections.com, a pandemic modeling site. “More restrictions in a state is NOT correlated with fewer COVID-19 deaths. However, more restrictions IS correlated with higher unemployment.”

This whole Covid thing was nothing but a way for Dumporats to gain control over people, has anyone took notice to the fact that most death's were in blue states, I'm not saying that Covid wasn't a bad disease, but I am saying that Dumporats saw this as a chance to play political games and squeeze money out of the people for their pet projects. Like I always say "FOLLOW THE MONEY".
