Listen to science folks. Listen to what the data is telling you.

Most like to blindly follow the crowd instead of thinking for themselves.
Will be funny to watch the Premiere this week talk about reopening the economy when just a few days earlier he called the protesters a bunch of yahoos. I did notice most of them wore masks, and kept their distance from one another.
Wearing a mask in public seems like a small price to pay to send millions of Canadians back to work while protecting those who are most vulnerable. Have a feeling the Canadian Government lacks a sufficient supply of masks for the general public to use...very poor planing.
Haven't you heard? The whole world is opening up.
And what are you suggesting? Open everything immediately, & be like Sweden tomorrow? How's that method working out for them? Way more deaths than their neighbors Denmark + Norway who have a combined population equal to Sweden.
Fact 6: Many deaths due to the flu and car accidents have been avoided due to the lockdown.
Fact 7: C-19 may keep coming back each year like the flu:

Fact 8: Herd immunity may not be achievable:

Fact 9: If the world went back to normal today, hospitals could soon be overwhelmed.
Without the economic shutdown there would have been many more deaths. Why? Because many hospitals would have been overwhelmed & they wouldn't have been able to handle all the non COVID-19 emergency cases in addition to all the COVID-19 emergency cases. Then doctors, as in Italy, would have had to choose between who lives & who dies. Many thousands more would have died.
Without the shutdown many more would have become sick at the same time. That would have led to many businesses shutting down anyway. And many of their customers would have stayed at home, anyway, leading to even more business closures.

While the death rate is low, many survivors have long recoveries; some interviewed said the worst experience of their lives. More recently, younger 30-year-olds have bad strokes and heart attacks due to clotting with no underlying conditions just out of the blue. One young athlete had his leg amputated because of a clot. The COVID-19 is like no other virus we have seen since the 1918 flu thing. It is so easy to transmit and for the unlucky attacks, many body parts - not just the lungs. Why is still a mystery.
Yeah, especially my last one in December. Three fucking weeks of coughing, hacking and wheezing.
The question you need to ask is are these death incidences significantly higher than last year or the year before. Last year no one cared if a seemingly healthy sub-30 year-old died of a stroke or heart attack. Probably because we were all inundated with the lasted transgendered rights' violation. Now our priorities have changed. We actually care about old people. The same old people that were asleep at the wheel while new laws were enacted that slowly turned this country shit.
And what are you suggesting? Open everything immediately, & be like Sweden tomorrow? How's that method working out for them? Way more deaths than their neighbors Denmark + Norway who have a combined population equal to Sweden.
Just like last year and year before, people die all the time. Grow a pair and get over it.
We should be following more the New Zealand model. The extreme lockdown virtually stopped the virus cold.
An interesting article in Scientific America by real doctors points out the number of flu deaths is estimated using questionable assumptions. It may be six times less than what has been reported. COVID-19 is far more deadly than the flu, as the article argues.
Comparing COVID-19 Deaths to Flu Deaths Is like Comparing Apples to Oranges

Also COVID-19 No Worse Than the Flu? Hardly - Points out in NY City COVID-19 deaths have been 21 times that of flue.
