10 Things We Learned From Bret Weinstein On The Joe Rogan Experience
2. What Would A Weinstein Lockdown Look Like?
During Weinstein's conversation about lockdown, he suggested that the U.S. should have completely shutdown the country for six whole weeks and driven the problem to extinction.
After the six week lockdown was up, Weinstein stated that intense contact tracing would have to be in place in order to track and isolate the spread. Weinstein then admitted the U.S. had done a 'half-assed' lockdown and the country is currently gambling which he referenced as 'insane'.
Masks have also been a huge talking point on the JRE, with Rogan under fire on social media and openly roasted by Bill Burr for saying they were for 'b*tches'. Weinstein took some time to speak about how he felt masks should have been aggressively pushed upon re-opening businesses. He also noted that masks are effective when both parties are wearing them.
Rather unexpectedly, Weinstein also noted that masks should be presented as a more fashionable and comfortable commodity than the medical masks we're used to seeing. This would then make people more inclined to throw one on.
Weinstein was sporting a black bandana-like mask around his neck throughout the chat, which he claimed made him look like the 'Mojito Bandito'.
