We make calculations every day on what is an acceptable level of death. By the way the virus doesn't run wild. It ebbs and flows. Remember the virus was ebbing down before the first lockdown according to a lot of the evidence - eg Tim Spector, I doubt he wants to lie. Even then the virus was...

His argument is much more than that but it will be wasted on you.

That is not dishonest at all. It shows that other interventions were perfectly possible, enactable and effective once people became aware of the viral increase. Lockdown was just over the top, totally. The idea that even now you can't hug anyone is totally daft. The virus has gone for this...

You can't have it both ways.

They had stocks of PPE but a lot of PPE was getting hoarded by different health authorities. And then the media hysteria got worse. We did have a shortage of course - it depends how you want to view things - should we always have an excess of supplies on a limited budget or divert the budget to...

The whole world was looking for the right type of PPE at one point. There was a lot of distribution issues too. Same for testing. PCR tests are still a controverisal way of testing for illness. Track and trace was pretty poor, but then again the virus had petered out by then anyway. Working...

Our well researched historic pandemic plans were chucked out in favour of lockdowns based on pictures from Bergamo and China. We shouldn't have done it because we did not consider the harm lockdowns have done, and given that the virus was curling over before these lockdowns (albeit with a huge...

The virus is curling over in India now as predicted. Without a beloved lockdown which will displace millions of Indians. If they did a lockdown a week or so ago then lockdown fanatics will have claimed lockdown did it. Thankfully they didn't and demonstrably it highlights the pro's of lockdown...

The evidence that without lockdown interaction there would be a greater virus speed is moot. In appears the viral load reached its peak before lockdown was enacted.

They did spot that.

That isn't the case. We've already established covid was in decline before lockdown. And even then we threw out historical pandemic plans in a moment of panic. Countries that didn't lockdown didn't get anything like the deaths modelled by our lockdown advisores. We did not have much in the way...

And lockdown has increased other deaths and will continue too. All predicated on some very dodgy modelling... The whole thing has been a total exaggeration. Yes it is a nasty virus but no it doesn't spread inexorably. The nosocomial infections in care homes and hospitals are a massive part of...

True

I'd go Ryobi

The most important argument against the compulsory use of masks is simply the lack of evidence that anyone without symptoms walking around the community will be a contagious person. It is very unlikely that an asymptomatic person is infectious. This argument becomes even stronger when we...

Or rather comparison of epidemic curves in places with strict lockdowns and those with less stringent measures shows no significant differences in COVID-19 indicators.

I'm not anti vax. The vulnerable should take it.

What study?

He was right!

People were just living their lives as they'd always done. That isn't stupid. Its normal life
