When we'll look back on the panic in 5-10 years, everyone will be mystified. Previous pandemics like the Russian Flu (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1889%E2%80%931890_pandemic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1889%E2%80%931890_pandemic) have stopped naturally without vaccines or major government intervention.
How has humanity survived without $BigGov? In Austria (highly locked down, fascist vaccine policy) the cumulative death rate now surpasses Sweden's. This means that you cannot avoid deaths, and if you allow them sooner, the pandemic will be over sooner.

- watwut 5y agoThe past goverments did actually responded to pandemics and sicknesses. Quarantine is not something novel. People with disease considered contagious could be banished away. They were no vaccines tho. Those started to be used only after they were invented.
- lamlq 5y agoHence "major government intervention" instead of "government intervention". Do you have a source that the Russian flu (conjectured to be Sars-Cov-0 by some) had any measures like we see now? Certainly not KN-95 masks. They did not treat it like tuberculosis.
- watwut 5y agoThey did not use airplanes to get from place to place either. And it has zero implication about travel today too.
