The exponential spread of SARS-CoV2 in the early phase (without containment measures) is a fact. You will not find an expert who thinks its R0 without any measures is <=1, since no data would support this thesis. Look at the curves. Estimates are currently between 2 and 4. As for health care systems not collapsing: All countries have reacted with drastic measures and that is the reason why their health care systems have not collapsed. Some have also better health care systems than others (e.g. Sweden, Netherlands). If you think any country could have done without quarantine or equivalent measures such as constant testing, temperature measurement, forced quarantine of infected, and very stringent case tracking, then you really do not understand exponential growth and how the disease spreads. I'm not declaring anyone who disagrees with me to have a personality disorder, I have laid out reasons why it is very likely that a certain small percentage of politicians has one. It can be inferred fairly well from what they say. In fact, a certain small percentage of the general population has them, so it would be a miracle if politicians where somehow exempt from personality disorders. Sociopaths lack empathy, so they have no problem weighing other people's lives against any other factor. That is a fact, too. As I said, it would be easy to confirm my claim with personality tests. It's not an outlandish view at all.
