> Immediately end all lockdowns, mask mandates and capacity restrictions. All those aged 70 and above will have the option to stay in quarantine
Aside from the stupidity of the first half, is the last sentence to be taken to mean that everyone under 70 will be dragged forcibly out of their homes and exposed involuntarily? If not, how else are we to understand that only a narrow group will have the “option” of “quarantine”?
> Pass legislation to make Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin available over the counter like they are in many foreign countries.
That’s stupid. Why would we make things worse by implicitly endorsing ineffective treatments? We’ve actually come a long way in effective medical interventions for COVID; making those more readily available (though OTC isn’t the right route, even there) makes sense.
> But no, we get ignore all the proof and hide in your homes until everyone can be vaccinated.
Almost nowhere has a policy that could even hyperbolicly be described by any sane person as “hide in your homes”, most places are gradually (some radically, even recklessly) reopening (and many adopting the first part of your first recommendation.) Even the many of the most restrictive places have generally reopened or are on short timetable to, despite retaining mask mandates and distancing/capacity restrictions for many activities.
