The good thing with science is that you can massage the numbers as much as you want, in the end the truth comes out: Covid-19 is just another strain of the flu, slightly more lethal than usual with a oddly long latency but hardly a justification for the massive economic destruction which has been implemented in many countries over the last few months.
The best proof we have to date is the Swedish example as the country did not implement any lockdown and consequently registered a very limited economic impact while the death rate, although worrying at the beginning quickly receded to insignificant numbers when herd immunity was achieved. This is the example that all Western countries should have followed.
Let's also remember that the lockdown was initially "sold" to the population as a mean to "flatten the curve", not to stop the virus as this is impossible.
What we are seeing now, sometimes erroneously called the second wave is nothing of the sort. It is simply the proof that however drastic the measures, you cannot stop a virus. You can slow down it's progression but eventually it will reassert itself. It is unavoidable.
Now the question which should be asked is: Why were we subjected to such a massive disinformation campaign? More specifically: Qui Bono? Who benefits?
