| You asked earlier, why are the lockdowns? | |
| And I've always learned that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, just like seatbelts. | |
| Nobody wanted to wear seatbelts, but then it was mandated to save people. | |
| So you're comparing the lockdown to seatbelts. | |
| How many people lose their jobs, income, and start taking opioids because of seatbelts? | |
| Well, if you didn't wear a seatbelt and got a ticket and you were a CDL driver, you would lose your license. | |
| You would lose your license. | |
| I missed that. | |
| You lose your license in Florida if you don't wear a seatbelt? | |
| Yeah, you get a ticket, and if you have a commercial driver's license, a CDL... Oh, if you have a commercial driver's license. | |
| I didn't understand the acronym. | |
| You can use your job, and you would lose your livelihood. | |
| I see. | |
| But you didn't quite follow my question. | |
| There is no price paid in society for people wearing seatbelts. | |
| The price paid for the lockdown is the end of people's livelihoods in the tens of millions. | |
| So I don't think that there's a comparison. | |
| Anyway, and I obviously go to calls that disagree with me first. | |
| Folks, nobody's forcing you to go out of your house. | |
| If you feel the lockdown is right, stay locked down. | |
| You know, pickle your fear, and God bless you, and I'm not... | |
| I don't mean that sarcastically. | |
| God bless you. | |
| You want to stay home? | |
| Stay home. | |
| But why should everybody have to stay home, especially the people who are incredibly unlikely to get sick, let alone die from it, like anybody under 50? | |
| What was the statistic? | |
| You have a 10,000 greater chance of dying of COVID over a certain age than under a certain age? | |
| 10,000 times more likely. | |
| And you're not even likely. | |
| Yes, indeed. | |
| Herb in Wisconsin. | |
| Many doctor's visits were canceled due to COVID. That's right. | |
| We don't know why the excess deaths, certainly in a lot of the cases. | |
| Greg in Victorville, California says similarly. | |
| Many of the excess deaths are probably from the lockdown. | |
| That's right. | |
| Jacob in LA, why aren't you fighting for in-person high holiday services? | |
| Yes, I would do it in a nanosecond. | |
| But I don't own my own building. | |
| Where am I going to do it? | |
| But you can't see my services. |
