Ooops! Just a little mix-up with the numbers.
The "experts" got their IFR & CFR mixed up and multiplied the likely impact of Covid by a factor of ten.
Drop your masks, go back to work, visit your elders, free your kids & hug again. The farce is OVER.

"Mistake"
But mix these figures up, they did.
This was their fatal – quite literally – mistake.
Suddenly, Covid was going to be ten times as deadly.
They got their IFR and CFR mixed up and multiplied the likely impact of Covid by a factor of ten.
I don’t expect you or I to get this sort of thing right. But I bloody well expect the "experts" to do so. They didn’t.
Sometime between Feb. 28th and March 11th, the narrative changed. In only 11 days, the same 'experts' changed their tune entirely from reason to wrong, horribly, catastrophically, running-into-Mars-at-5,000-miles-an-hour wrong.
This is no mistake, no way, no how. Impossible.
Lockdown achieved, almost precisely nothing with regard to Covid. No deaths were prevented.
Never in history has medical terminology been so badly mangled. Never have statistics been so badly mangled.
Covid was never going to kill more than about 0.1 percent – max.
We locked down in fear. We killed tens of thousands unnecessarily, in fear. We crippled the economy, and left millions in fear of their livelihoods, trapped abused women & children at home with their abusers, wiped out scores of companies, and crushed entire industries.
Lockdown can be seen as a complete and utter disaster. And it was all based on a nonsense, a claim that Covid was going to kill one percent. A claim that can now be seen to be utterly and completely wrong.
Let’s end this ridiculous nonsense now.
