The Ineffective Lock Down Was Brainchild of 14 Year Old Girl

The 2006 Origins of the Lockdown Idea



"And it had some unexpected detours, including a deep dive into the history of the 1918 Spanish flu and an important discovery kicked off by a high school research project pursued by the daughter of a scientist at the Sandia National Laboratories."

Notice that in the course of this planning, neither legal nor economic experts were brought in to consult and advise. Instead it fell to Mecher (formerly of Chicago and an intensive care doctor with no previous expertise in pandemics) and the oncologist Hatchett.

But what is this mention of the high-school daughter of 14? Her name is Laura M. Glass, and she recently declined to be interviewed when the Albuquerque Journal did a deep dive of this history.

"Laura, with some guidance from her dad, devised a computer simulation that showed how people – family members, co-workers, students in schools, people in social situations – interact. What she discovered was that school kids come in contact with about 140 people a day, more than any other group. Based on that finding, her program showed that in a hypothetical town of 10,000 people, 5,000 would be infected during a pandemic if no measures were taken, but only 500 would be infected if the schools were closed."

Laura’s name appears on the foundational paper arguing for lockdowns and forced human separation. That paper is Targeted Social Distancing Designs for Pandemic Influenza (2006). It set out a model for forced separation and applied it with good results backwards in time to 1957. They conclude with a chilling call for what amounts to a totalitarian lockdown, all stated very matter-of-factly.

"Implementation of social distancing strategies is challenging. They likely must be imposed for the duration of the local epidemic and possibly until a strain-specific vaccine is developed and distributed. If compliance with the strategy is high over this period, an epidemic within a community can be averted. However, if neighboring communities do not also use these interventions, infected neighbors will continue to introduce influenza and prolong the local epidemic, albeit at a depressed level more easily accommodated by healthcare systems."

In other words, it was a high-school science experiment that eventually became law of the land, and through a circuitous route propelled not by science but politics.

The primary author of this paper was Robert J. Glass, a complex-systems analyst with Sandia National Laboratories. He had no medical training, much less an expertise in immunology or epidemiology.

That explains why Dr. D.A. Henderson, “who had been the leader of the international effort to eradicate smallpox,” completely rejected the whole scheme.

Says the NYT:

"Dr. Henderson was convinced that it made no sense to force schools to close or public gatherings to stop. Teenagers would escape their homes to hang out at the mall. School lunch programs would close, and impoverished children would not have enough to eat. Hospital staffs would have a hard time going to work if their children were at home.

The measures embraced by Drs. Mecher and Hatchett would “result in significant disruption of the social functioning of communities and result in possibly serious economic problems,” Dr. Henderson wrote in his own academic paper responding to their ideas.

The answer, he insisted, was to tough it out: Let the pandemic spread, treat people who get sick and work quickly to develop a vaccine to prevent it from coming back."

The administrative state needs to be rounded up and put in mass graves along with the MSM and the Democrat leadership.

37,000 More Americans May Die Because Trump Did Not Take COVID-19 Seriously

Two epidemiologists, writing an op-ed together in The New York Times on Wednesday, are suggesting that earlier efforts to mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus — even implementing social distancing measures by just a week or two — could have saved tens of thousands of American lives.

Tactics for dealing with COVID-19 and other diseases where there isn’t an effective treatment, much less a vaccine to prevent their spread, require intervention methods that “go back to the basics,” the researchers wrote, noting that social distancing measures (like limiting large gathering sizes or closing schools) must be implemented in those cases.

Imperial College? That's the same institution that gave us the debunked 2.2 million death estimate you laughable fuck, their computer models are all based on a high school science project from a 14 year old girl.

Yes closing schools to prevent a population basically immune to the virus is fucking brilliant, it definitely wouldn't make more sense to focus all resources and effort on the vulnerable population in nursing homes and extended care facilities when 99% of covid patients under 65 completely recover. Kill yourself you fucking retard.

There have been lockdowns going back to Biblical times.

Lolwut?

So all the leaders in Europe are 14 year old girls? All those grey haired men and women standing on th dais with Trump are 14 year old girls? All thos guvs, both sides of the aisle, are 14 year old girls?

WTF are you TRYING to say?

Idiot.

They locked down in 1918. They did it with the Black Plague. But they did not have Trump and his presidential campaign to deal with.

They don't CARE. As long as dark people and now old people are the ones hit hardest--they're expendible, open up the country. Thin the herd.

Bingo!

Let's not forget, the rich of their time retreated to their ocean and mountain retreats, Long Island "cottages", Palm Beach mansions and many sailed to less sick countries They escaped and waited it out.

They didn't lock down in 1957-58 with the Asian Flu or in 1968-69 with Hong Flu, so what's your point?

Isaac Newton was studying at Cambridge when the Great Plague(a later wave of the Black Plague) struck. He was well on the road to developing calculus, and begged to stay at the school. He could care less about the teachers, but he felt he needed the library, and his room. They insisted on closing the school, and on using the military to push off anyone who wanted to stay at the school. He was literally driven out of town by the army, and threatened with death should he try to get back to the library.

So a lockdown is the reason calculus was invented at Newton's parents' house, and not Cambridge.

The lock down protocols are from 2006 and began as a high school science project from a 14 year old girl kind of like the plastic straw ban was the brainchild of a 9 year old boy. Why don't you try reading the article all the bolded portions are straight from the NYTs a trusted member of the DNC ministry of propaganda.

Liar the Spanish Flu did not shut down the economy no businesses were forcibly shuttered by state governors, you're just making stuff up.
