So much economic destruction for so few casualties.
In France the median age of death from the virus is 84 year old.
This is older that life expectancy!
In many cases, it is not even certain that the virus is the cause of death.
Which practically means that the added mortality in 2020 will be nil!
This crisis will remain as one of the biggest blunder in political history when decisions were taken based on faulty mathematical projections from Professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College in London which showed hundred of thousands of deaths within months which obviously did not materialized.
Conversely, the successful strategy pursued in Asia to wear masks and isolate a few hot spots resulted in a death rate 10 to 20 times less in countries like Japan and Korea.
Now the medical emergency is almost over in Europe and past its peak in the US, just as the economic crisis is gaining speed. The social and political consequences will wait until later this year but will probably go far beyond a mere epidemics.
