What if 5,000 doctors signed a petition that said the lock down was necessary you would certinally change your mind because 5,000 is more than 600.
Except there isnt one. Let's talk about things that actually exist.

in the first part of March, right before you really started hearing about covid-19 issues in the United States, the price of oil dropped $20 a barrel in less than 2 weeks.
And why do you think that happen? You think maybe China (the largest importer of oil in the world and 2nd largest consumer of oil), Iran, and Italy's Covid issues had something to do with it? and then the idiots in Russia and Saudi Arabia making things worst. You think Trump banning travel from China to the US on Jan 31st, and then from Europe on March 12th, had an effect, b/c it sure as shite had an effect on the stock market those days.
If Covid doesn't happen, you telling me we were going to see that same dip in February/March?

I think the point is that the O&G affects from COVID would have happened with or without the lockdowns, which is what this thread is about

If any doctor knows epidemiology and is free from bias, it’s definitely a pain management doctor.
Two epidemiologists did a video last month on this very subject. Their video garnered more than 5 million views on YouTube before it was taken down for going against WHO guidelines.

He noted a massive loss of employment in the oil and gas industry. There were issues associated with foreign oil production that preceded any covid-19 concerns. I would argue that substantial layoffs were coming in that industry with or without this pandemic.
You are right there were issues. But, to pretend that COVID didn't have a MAJOR impact is beyond ignorant. We went to full supply, demand was basically nil.

the urgent care doctors? they most certainly are not epidemiologists

I'm pretty sure the fact that we aren't consuming gobs of jet fuel every day, or gobbles of gasoline everyday b/c we are locked down, are playing a huge role in it.
The point is, O&G was doing just fine before this Covid crap started, and it was not about to slow down for other reasons.

Covid isn't a hoax. The response to Covid isn't a hoax. A "hoax" is a malicious deception. There is room to disagree with the policy but there is no "hoax" in this.

I'm best friends with Chad's older brother. (Dr. Domangue in your first link) He's a smart dude and been calling this out almost from the start.

This is 100% right.
600 doctors making a statement is important to note, but it's certainly not enough of a statement to just take their conclusion as gospel (which is what the left tries to make everyone do over and over).

He said he knows 2 people who worked for 2 different companies and both companies had 350 employees 6 months ago, and both companies now have 16 employees?
That's quite the coincidence.

Have you no skepticism of such an extraordinary claim that you must await an argument against it to make up your mind? What is it about "latent molecule left over from the MMR vaccine that is being activated by the 5G rollout" that even sounds plausible to you?

Oh it is important to note, there's right arguments both ways. It's not one or the other.
Certain places were hit harder (major cities vs countryside), I think that's easily proven. What could we have done differently? Maybe not an umbrella restriction and based off the incidence rate of a county/parish? I think numbers say that opening in phases should have occurred a week or two earlier.
In New Orleans for sure, numbers climbed drastically and its factual evidence that the hospitals had to expand and pool a ton of resources. So the hospital experience will be drastically different than say Ruston or Raceland.

Here's a fact.... The original quarantine was supposed to be for 2 weeks to ensure we didn't overwhelm our collective hospital system. It's clear we were never close to doing so. The models predicting that we would were terribly wrong. Yet 75 days later we are still in shut down mode. In fact, we had time to increase capacity. A capacity that was never used. Louisiana alone spent $400+ million to increase capacity.... and that money was used to "treat" about 130 people.
What we are doing now is completely ridiculous. If we have the capacity to treat the sick, why in the hell are we still shut down or "open" at dramatically reduced percentages. The HOAX is continuing to act like this is a threat to the general population. It absolutely is not. What we are doing now, requiring workers to wear gloves and masks, is doing more harm than good. Workers are wearing gloves for hours at a time and touching our food and other purchases. We are doing more to spread the virus than not. It's completely asinine.

We never "had" to expand. The models indicated we needed to. And I don't blame the state for doing so, but we never hit critical mass where the hospitals ran out of room or capabilities. I was there. I saw it first hand. The massive hospital built in the Convention Center was never used as intended. They housed handfuls of positive patients at a time, but those were patients who couldn't pay at hospitals (mostly homeless). The state took them for free. But even New Orleans never exceeded their capacity. In fact, as early as the first week of April, they (Nola hospitals) were demanding to return to normal practices so they could make money off of elective procedures.
