What everyone is neglecting to talk about is the age effect of mortality with Covid.
For people under 55 the chance of fatility is miniscule.. in the range of choking or car accidents. This age group makes up 80% or so of the population.
For people over 80 this may be the worst disease since the black plague. Millions upon millions of deaths. This age group makes up approximately 10% of the population.
This is an important consideration because the lockdowns effectively trapped mostly working age people who weren't at risk of dying from Covid in the first place.
I think that's where a lot of criticism of Covid policies stems from.
Should we make national health policy based on a disease that effects a minority of the population?
