It's not solely me, actually. I follow a website called Intellectual Takeout that's half blog, half news aggregator. I got into it when it had an article talking about prosperity gospel craziness and I stayed for the insightful stuff. It eventually gave me the redpill when it did articles in the wake of the failed impeachment case against Trump early this year, and I wouldn't have gotten into this community were it not for Takeout.
Edit: In hindsight, if I share more links [like] this, I should put up a comment quoting a highlight or two from the article for potential readers to take away from if they don't have time. I myself don't have the best of attention spans, so it'd help people like me who want to have a quick read and get it over with.
I think the problem of trying to find that out is that most if not all of the hard-hit jam-packed cities were hit with the double whammy of being in the more populous (and popular) states and of having lockdown orders on top of it. Closest thing I could get to a city approaching NYC levels population-wise within the seven states is Little Rock, Arkansas, and while its county has only about 6,000 cases and less than a hundred deaths, it's also a ridiculously small city compared to the heavy hitters (clocking in at barely below 200,000 people living there).
The real challenge, then, would be to find a city on NYC's level that's laissez-faire or at least more laissez-faire than the typical big metro. When you add in the complicating factor of protests/riots, it just gets confusing for me.
Well, that about ends it then. Not only were the lockdowns useless, but it seems fairly conclusive they were harmful as well. Thanks for the link
