How is it working? Have we increased hospital staff? Do hospitals have more respirators? Because that's the only metric that matters, because when we all go back to work, the virus will be there waiting for us. It hasn't gone anywhere, and it's not going anywhere until everyone (80% of us at least) has been infected.
All very good questions.
Perhaps the public health authorities overreacted when they initiated the lock-down, however, nobody wants to own a dead dog - so they refuse to admit it, and that might be why they are persisting in maintaining the lock down? Is the lock down saving lives? I don't know, there are so many variables dependent on speculation that it's hard to answer questions like those.
I think the mortality rate is the biggest mystery of all because while you can get a fairly accurate number of people who died with COVID, that then needs to be divided by the number of people who have or have had COVID. And with so many people at home who have it, never having been tested, it's impossible to get the denominator, and therefore come to an accurate number regarding the virus' actual fatality rate. In other words, the equation is missing a critical number.
Everyone, including Dr Fauci is just speculating on what that critical number is. But regardless, I suppose it doesn't really matter. Yesterday Justin Trudeau said the lock down will continue for several more weeks, meaning whether we like it or not, that's the way it's going to be - regardless of any good and concrete evidence that this approach might not be saving lives.
As for me personally, I am not dedicated and loyal to the lock down approach, although I am not necessarily opposed to it either. And with more and more evidence emerging that it might be the wrong approach, I am beginning to question the logic of it. But again, I suppose it doesn't really matter in light of JT's pronouncement yesterday.
