Yeah, if you're fine with unqualified politicians making inaccurate claims about the virus in order to intensify lockdowns (which, frankly, has been most of the lockdown justifications) then that's pretty unfair.
The burden of proof should be on the lockdown proponents, not people trying to return to the status quo.
- eecc 6y agoWe're not used to sharing space with hungry wolves or big felines, in fact humans tend to exterminate them when they move into a new environment. There's a new predator out there, invading our space and we're its lunch. there's precious little status quo to return to until we have the tools to exterminate it. We're not used to not being apex predators. That's fact.

- eecc 6y agoExcept HIV isn't airborne, doesn't choke you to death within a couple weeks and the other 'cold' and 'flus' aren't nearly as deadly. Cov2 is both everywhere and lethal, that's quite a difference in kind. And WRT "Malaria, and so many more" we as humans and our collective organizations have been busy trying to exterminate or avoid them as much as possible. Since forever.
