China does a a lot of thing the US condemns. Think those are volunteers in The Body Revealed traveling show? They're a know human rights violator. They are a communist nation. They function in ways unfamiliar to the US.

Why is all of a sudden this being turned into some politica BS conspiracy and weaponized as some kind of argument to justify ignorance?

@Graylight Because democrats were for lockdowns

@MrBrownstone States and some institutions wanted lockdowns, but there was never such measure taken on a federal level.

You're mad about things that didn't even happen.

@Graylight When did I say federal?

@MrBrownstone There were stay-at-home-orders and there were shelter-in-place orders. Neither is a lockdown, which is stricter in its mandates. So who had lockdowns?

@Graylight What is the difference?

@MrBrownstone Well, what's the difference between gun regulation and gun bans?

Learn the terms, get the facts, then have the discussion.

@Graylight So you don’t know the difference and I was right. Thanks

@MrBrownstone Lockdown
The basic idea is to stay inside a certain building. A lockdown, however, is used to describe one in response to something like an active shooter, while shelter-in-place is usually in response to natural or environmental threats, like a tornado or a chemical spill. It’s a distinction that’s blurred in the context of COVID-19, where the two terms are often used interchangeably and the shelter-in-place measures adopted in California, France, Italy, and elsewhere are frequently described as lockdowns.

Shelter-in-Place Order
Before it was adapted for the context of COVID-19, the term “shelter in place” was typically used in situations when authorities asked the public to seek protection from storms or other threats by remaining in their homes. These are legal orders often with the potential for fines or imprisonment if violated and not merely strong suggestions from public health agencies.

[In the United States to date, only two states have adopted such measures, California and New York. In both states, residents were required to stay home with only limited exceptions—for example, traveling to get medical care or buy food.

Stay-at-Home, or Safer-at-Home, Order
The more benign-sounding “stay at home” has been used by some public health agencies when discussing what are effectively “shelter in place” orders. The state of California opted to use “Safer at Home” to describe its statewide order of March 19.
