New Jersey governor threatens total lockdown of state over rising “cases”

A move that would surely deal a mortal wound to the remaining small businesses and independent organizations in the state.

It is unbelievable, with all that we now know about COVID-19, that this is even being considered. A lockdown to protect against a virus with a 4% mortality rate is one thing, but a virus with 0.05%, is something far different. And even that number will fall dramatically once it is revealed how few people actually died of COVID.

But think about what is happening. This governor is willing to sacrifice his state’s economy on the case-demic altar. And not merely the economy, but lives and livelihoods. The suffering from the lockdowns will be so out of proportion to what little damage any virus will do. All the sacrifice and suffering will have been in vain.
