"Plausible studies indicate that the number of lives lost in the absence of the various quarantine measures might have been 35X the 90,000 we have already experienced. "
How do we know how effective the shutdown is?
Is the death rate in Sweden 35X ours?
Is the death rate the same across the U.S.? In WA state, we have hospitals laying off workers and some smaller ones threatened with closing, though I'm sure money will be printed to save them.
Cuomo said over 60% of those hospitalized in new york for the virus never left their house.
Some epidemiologists claim the shutdowns were too late - the virus had already spread, and so the peak was about to happen. Shutdowns therefore done just in time for politicians to take the credit for saving us.
Kind of like the church, which held a fast about the same time - yeah, the fast is what saved us, based on science, of course. Think of how many more would have died without fasting.
And BTW, there hasn't been a real shutdown. For some reason, while telling us to stay home, most businesses still operate, and many stores are open. To test the effectiveness of shutdowns, we need to shoot anybody leaving their home for one year minimum. No need to keep the power on, or store shelves stocked. But we don't really care - those going to the store want people to die we're told.
Then you have the latest gospel of wearing masks. I just risked my life going to the grocery store, where I watched the young bagger using her hands to repeatedly adjust her mask, spreading corona virus from mask to fingers to customer bags.
Of course, like most things coming from government and religion, they are made to make us feel good and safe. Feelings, feelings. Just like church.
And after trashing the economy, government will again save us, by throwing money at us. Those who produce the most dough will get elected. We are now hogs at the trough. Government action will create a crisis, from which they will save us by printing money.
I just read this review paper on the properties and behavior of virus particles, and infective doses, etc, and why masks are ineffective.

Plus the news was showing many people dying from heart attacks, etc, because the news has scared them away from hospitals. Potentially more unnecessary deaths than from the virus.
But again, do not question, or you will be told you just want to kill people, and you are an idiot or anti-intellectual, or whatever...
Pretty much like church.
