CV and mad panic behaviour

[Baggers]

Any idiot knows that lockdowns have never previously been recommended in history, prior to 2020, as EVERYONE with half a clue knows the cost of  lockdown is simply far, far too great.

This idiot seems to vividly recall from his history lessons and an ABC special on the 'Spanish Flu' (so named not because it came from Spain, but that Spain was the first nation to provide accurate statistics and information) that Sydney did in fact resort to shutting many businesses, closing schools, entertainment venues and so on. The unemployment level spiked as a result of these 'lockdown' measures, along with mandatory masks and fines for those not wearing masks. Until these measures were instituted the virus was spreading uncontrollably. These measures did slow the infections and reduce death rates.
