>>12125751>it's mass hysteriaIt is a sizeable threat, with very tangible results, mostly preventable deaths from people below 60 due to health service overload, that is without taking into account the direct deaths the shit caused. From an office chair a number may not mean anything, but for families that had their relatives taken prematurely it means a life changing event.
>blanket lockdownsThe lockdowns were terribly managed, directed by the incompetent WHO which didn't even release guidelines against fomite transmission or contingency for mask shortage, and by incompetent politicians who took the chance to steal money.
What the world needed was an international lockdown for 6 weeks, then the shit would have died out and no one would have died. Blanket lockdown for infected countries and shutting down airports etc for non-infected countries, afterwards localized lockdowns as cases start to be detected.
That's all and the virus would have been stopped in march. We wouldn't have any of this shit. Hell, if someone actually wanted to wipe out the world he may as well do it through viruses since americans are such morons they can't recognize a threat when it hits them.
