re: Shocking News: The data used to initiate lockdowns was bogus

There has no doubt been an increase. I don’t buy into covid being a “hoax.” What is apparent is that the reaction to it was overkill from the start with most mitigation efforts being pointless in terms of total loss of life. Basically, the majority if not all of these people would have died of covid eventually. Exposure was and will happen eventually. We should have taken steps to prevent exposure as best as possible for the most vulnerable (elderly) and moved on. Period. There was no reason to shutdown and lockdown. And we knew that in March based on plenty of available data and closed systems like the cruise ships.
