The number of cases is a function of the number of tests. The number of fatalities would be a better representation of the lockdown effects.

The problem with the number of fatalities is that only one fatality is tracked. Where is the counter for the children that die because not getting immunized because of the lockdown? (Turns out there are already tens of millions of them not getting vaccines, measles immunization is down 50%) Where is the fatality counter for depression, for weakened immune systems that lockdown causes, etc. Where is the counter for all the diseases not treated because of the lockdown? Where is the counter for famine and poverty? Do you see the problem? There is only one counter up there ticking up every day, all common sense sacrificed to make the tick go slower. If we had a counter for all the deaths caused by the lockdown there would be no lockdown at all.

  > Where is the counter for the children that die because not getting immunized They don't die. They are protected because the vast majority is vaccinated. It's something called herd immunity. You seem like you should have heard of it. > for weakened immune systems that lockdown causes That's not a thing. > If we had a counter for all the deaths You're in luck: almost all the statisticians are trying to switch to all-cause mortality. That should be the definite answer to all your questions.

    ok bascially you are saying that no deaths have been or will be caused by the lockdown and why vaccinate since herd immunity already affects everyone (never mind 10 if not 100 million vaccines have not been administered) there is no such thing as a weakened immune system after being locked up in a house for weeks if not months. and that is your scientific reasoning ...
