So you dont need a lockdown. You simply need mosquito nets.

So when you have a cheap solution that works, why would you want to do something expensive that does not even work any better than the cheap solution?

Other than making a nonsensical ideological statement, that is.

even with mosquito nets that we've had for centuries, possibly millenia, we're still losing 700K+ per year, so the cheap solution (free, in many cases) isn't working.

covid is trending toward the same death rate. therefore, we should lock down against mosquitos to be consistent.

i get it, cognitive dissonance sucks, but "nonsensical ideologies" indulge in the panic and anxiety rather than fortifying your resolve against the hysteria. your fear is someone else's power.
