#1 The famous Ioannidis. Man who build his academic career on attacking other peoples work. And, the very first time he actually did some work himself, was caught faking results. A fitting scientific authority figure for "covid is just a flue" community.

#4 The economy is "resting" thanks to faulty predictions of medics which led to the lockdown mistake.

#5 Deaths aren't everything. We still don't know what this virus will do in the future, and yes with young people. Don't bank on immunity. Survivors may suffer permanent lung damages (and other things), and the virus may come back and hit them harder.

With all respect, the U.S. is going down a very dangerous path with its cavalier approach.

Germany has 6800 active cases now, the U.S. 1.6 million. Fall in the U.S. will be brutal.

#6 Deaths aren't everything.

Deaths will be bad enough, once the treatment capacity is overwhelmed.

But, I suspect that death/debilitation of somebody they know is the only way they'll learn that CV19 is real - not another Democratic stratagem like AGW.

#7 Indeed. This is what happened in Italy. The Italian lockdown was painful, but now they only have about 150 new infections per day.

Infections in the U.S. are out of control. The worst is yet to come. And Americans are still debating masks in crowded spaces? Seriously?

#8 ^Yea, well, it's not out of control yet. And, at least some Republicans - like the Texas Gov, are beginning to take it seriously.
