So now ask the questions...

Who benefits from this?

Who benefits from media scaremongering?

Who benefits from an economic recession in this country, or the world?

Who benefits from shutting down small mom & pop retailers/businesses/restaurants while keeping the large corporate chains open?

Who benefits from mandatory vaccination legislation?

I watched the first 15 minutes and I already see a major flaw in their argument. They take the rate of positive tests and extrapolate that to the entire population, and then come up with very low mortality rates. However, people taking COVID tests are people with symptoms. And, in some cases, only people with severe symptoms. One expects the rate of positives among these people to be much much higher than a random test covering the entire population.

Only random antibodies tests can start to give us a picture of COVID’s true mortality rate.

...and whose banks are financing the recovery, and taking ownership over US corporate debt

The government is not working. You said it works. It is not working at various levels.

that is obvious

Does your company earn a profit? Or at least ASPIRE to earn a profit?

Since when has not being financially viable become a virtue?

Nope....I saidYou have no idea how a big government plans and takes action. They are built to be lumbering consultative organisation and are no good at making big and quick decisions. And because of this they havent caught up to the data yet and they have not focused on reviewing the situation.' '

Where ypu highlighted the first point and scoffed with the implication that I was either wrong or that you did know. Seeing the subject of the sentence was 'you' I assumed you had experience in the matter or knew better.

Ill take it you have never worked on a big project with them or in it.

They lumber, then sledgehammer and then are very slow at cominf back around to review and tune.

And even that will be flawed, because the rate CLEARLY varies hugely with age and the initial health of the individuals. Take a look at this snapshot of case-mortality:




US military veterans in VA hospitals - appreciable case fatality rate in known coronavirus patients - up around 6 or 7%.

Active duty military - far lower. Only about 0.3%. Influenza levels at best, and that ignores the hundreds of thousands of people that have had it and didn’t even get sick enough to be tested.

And seriously, there is no longer any doubt that the world has over-reacted to coronavirus. The only debatable point left is the extent of that over reaction.
