This isn’t policy based on data or reason. Just some summary thoughts Cost of lockdowns: a) lack of preventative care ; lack of trips to hospital when would otherwise ; missed vaccines b) mental health issues ; suicides c) child and spousal abuse d) vitamin D deficiency from staying indoors extra hours, weakening immune system ; lack of regular pathogen exposure also weakening the immune system e) metabolic issues from sitting extra hours each day f) economy wise, destruction of businesses and livelihood, with new huge pile of national debt risking long term economic problems and inflation Sweden: Sweden has claimed they will reach herd immunity the month. The mortality per capita in Sweden is less than France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Netherland, Switzerland. 3k deaths total, that’s less than the seasonal flu in Sweden, with average age being above the average age of life expectancy (same in US too). CFR in US: We know it’s far lower than what’s reported due to sampling of asymptomatic (and common sense - it started perhaps as early as October with any significant screening or testing only staring 3-4 months later), as well as because “died with Covid” is merged with “died from Covid” in official stats in US. If you need further proof look at places like Singapore where it’s < .1% CFR despite 25k cases/ large volum of new cases per day. Politics in the US: Watching this unfold in recent weeks it's hard not to be cynical and conclude this is perhaps the only reason someone would extend these lockdowns for 3 months.
